From the start of sailing till the turn of the millennium one practiced the principle that the difference in points between No.
All races counted and the scoring system was used after the corrected time was calculated.
There are no known provisions for breaking a tie in the 1900 sailing regattas at the Olympic Games.
For the Games in Belgium a so-called Point for Place system was used: Should two or more yachts in any class tie under these conditions a sail-off would determine the final result.
For the 1924 Games in France system of elimination series and semi finals was used.
The France Olympic Committee had made available a total of 8 mostly identical boats.
In each elimination series one country was exempt and was automatically qualified for the semi-final.
The winner in each class of the Yachting competition was decided on the following point system: In case of a tie after all races were sailed, provision was made for an extra race between the competitors tied.
For the 1940 Olympics the following scoring system was intended:[3] In case of a tie the helmsman with the most first places wins the serie.
If this does not break the tie the helmsman with the most second places wins the serie and so on.
In Austria a point system was developed were the delta between two sequential places was decreased with the rank.
The system was based upon a formula taking the number of entries and the rank of into account.
Below you find the relevant tables: For each class a series should consist of seven scheduled races.
If this does not break the tie the helmsman with the most second places wins the series and so on.
of entered boats + 1 YMP = Points by decision of the jury (most used = average score)
