The only way Shuraz could have avoided breaking rule 10 here, was by tacking under the mark, which he had enough room for.
Since VSK scored him finished, he was not able to take his pen, and we have to follow rule D1.2(c):
"A boat that has broken a rule just before or after crossing the finish line, and is unable to take a penalty turn due to being classified as finished by VSK, will have her finishing position adjusted as if she promptly would have taken one or more penalty turns."
By taking 1 turn, Shuraz would have finished 6th, so red team 1 5 6 = 12 vs 2 3 4 = 9, blue wins.
This is a case without any doubt, so I have changed the result for race 1.
Regarding format, I'm not very fond of having these ranked. On the other hand I like the anarchy which has always been the system in the TR community for 20 years. If you don't like the rules, just dont join, but sail with your own rules... As long as you only do 3 races and use the TRC seeding of the first race to compile the teams in a event of 6, then some randomness is added and teams are as even as theoretically possible. And the effect on ranking from only 3 races is not very big... Since it's an ELO ranking, it will give some wrong points for some of the participants, but after a few more races it's back to normal... However, if the ranking is not important, then I think it's a good idea to make them non-ranked events. It's still things on stake, since the result is officially listed...
Personally, I prefer following the table if 6 boats have signed up, but I don't mind they way it's used by Jean-Luc.
But I hope it's not used for more than 3 races, like it was here:
