Looking at the results from Arcos, there was 82 entries.
Bamforth shows as getting the following points in the last couple of races:
58 67 83 86 85 83
83 i understand as # of starters +1 which is common.
But # of starters +3 and + 4, what results drove that scoring?
Thanks,

Scoring at Arcos
Moderator: Rob Walsh
Here is a possible answer. The "old" SIs for the event provided a four-point penalty:
Perhaps the scoring system was not changed when the "revised" SIs were issued at the event itself, when this provision was removed. (I wasn't there, so don't know, but maybe the revised SIs were further revised to re-introduce this penalty... )'Old' SIs for event wrote:In the case of an incident not judged by an Umpire, a competitor may protest according to rule 61.2 as modified by rule E5.3 except for any incidents involving serious damage under rule E 3.1(d). If the protest is upheld by the protest committee, the penalty for breaking rule 31.1, 42, 44 or a rule of Part 2, except rule 14 when serious damage resulted from contact, shall be 4 points as further defined in rule 44.3(c). A 4-point penalty imposed under this rule shall not change the placing of the penalized boat for the heat in question. The penalty for breaking other rules may be any other penalty by the decision of the protest committee according to rules 64.1 and E5.8.
