• RRS 70.3(b) - Denial of right to appeal (conditional)
  As a matter of interest - here in the Philippines it would be a very simple and non-costly challenge: case entered into 'the blotter', mandatory 3x sessions at the local 'Barangay Hall' with the 'Barangay Captain' (Lawyers not allowed inside the hearing room) and that Barangay Captain will make a call on the matter - either parties may disagree and trot off to the small claims Court for a speedy low-cost judgement :). Not entirely dissimilar to other countries that I have worked in as well.

• Mark-Room and Room to Pass an Obstruction who wins.
  See John's response.   For the sake of simplicity, if we ask for an interpretation, the testimony of both competitors is that was only room for one boat to pass safely between the mark and the obstruction.
  
  Further. What happens if there are three boats overlapped? I was recently on a one-design start line with 103 boats.  I wish I could tell you that I had a fantastic first leg and arrived at the top mark in the top 3 boats with no overlap. Alas by the time I got there, so did a lot of other boats.  Fortunately, no obstruction. But I confess that Mark's Xmas puzzler was going through my head as I rounded 3 abreast.
  
  Oh, and I had a much better downwind leg. Thanks for asking.

• RRS Power Point Presentation
  Hi John
  Can you share again the links of Race Managment documents. I am planning a training session on this.

• To be a MARK or not to be
  I totaly agree with Mark Townsend’s answer. Even nothing is said about the start process in your case, it seems you are racing and RRS 31 applies and the first marks you shall not touch are the marks of the starting line.

• Rule 18.2(d)
  My summary of this thread is that 18.2(d) is similar to 18.2(e) in that it simply says you can't get a last-second overlap and expect room.
