Team scoring under a fleet racing format

Does anyone have an example of language for the NOR/SIs governing fleet racing but provides for team scoring (e.g., 12-boat fleet, with four 3 boat teams) without conflicting with case 78 by somehow preventing "team racing tactics" from being used?  It seems that if the NOR/SI just introduces a "team scoring" provision, that would then permit many aspects of "team racing tactics" to be used to improve the team's overall score (now fairly(?) under Rule 2), unless there is language included that would somehow discourage these team tactics.  Or is rule 41 enough as it is?  Or is team scoring in fleet racing just something to be avoided?

I would suggest looking at the NORs forthe RORC Commodores' Cup and Admiral's Cup.
