    “SERIES” is the name for one or more races whose results will be calculated according to the scoring instructions for that series.

      9.1.1 NUMBER OF RACES
      The number of race days scheduled is stated in paragraph 2. The number of completed races to constitute a series shall be stated in the NOR and Sailing Instructions of each particular series that is dependent on Area III scheduled races.

      9.1.2 SERIES SCORES
      Each boat’s series score, including throwouts, shall be as stated in the series NOR.

      9.1.3 LMPHRF
      The corrected finish time is the elapsed time in seconds, minus the LMPHRF handicap multiplied by the length of the race. (tc = te - (d times h), where tc is corrected time, te is elapsed time in seconds, d is distance in nautical miles and h is the yacht’s LMPHRF handicap. (This formula represents time on distance scoring).

      9.1.2 ONE-DESIGN
