604.3 Team Captains Meetings and Draw
In accordance with ICR 213.4 and 216 the time and location of the first team captain’s meeting and of the draw must be shown in the programme.
An actual meeting, attended in person by team captains, jury, and race officials is an inseparable part of the competition and is important for communication of jury instructions, support of the OC, OC requests and information as well as a critical element for risk management and liability related matters. ICR 216 and 217 apply in all cases.

ICR Changes 2010
611.3.2.2 Photo Finish
A Photo Finish System may be used to determine a competitor´s finish
time. In case of a failure of system “A” and “B”, and where the competition
has been recorded by the Photo Finish System, this time must be used in
place of hand-timing using a correction factor. The correction factor is the
difference between the time taken by the Photo Finish System and the
electronic times (where possible) of the 3 competitors before the missed
time. Where there is not 3 previous competitors then the time of a
competitor(s) immediately after the missed time can be used.
The sum of the 3 (or less) time differences divided by 3 (or less) is applied
to the photo finish time of the competitor without electronic time.
The photo finish time is taken when any part of the competitor´s body first
crosses the finish line. The photo finish result is to be provided to the Jury
only.
