Note that Rinderle awards no points for DNF, DNC or DSQ. While it may be argued that "trying should be rewarded", SAIL does not see this as a problem for its season Tour scoring. SAIL uses multi-race regatta places to score its season-long Tours, not individual races. The individual regattas' sailing instructions typically deal with "letter place" scores.
