If there is a series-score tie between two or more boats, each boat’s race scores shall be listed in order of best to worst, and at the first point(s) where there is a difference the tie shall be broken in favour of the boat(s) with the best score(s). No excluded scores shall be used.

So to be clear, if there are 'throw-out' races, they should be accounted for (thrown out) before determining whether there is a tie, correct?
