• Oracle Team USA hit with harsh penalties. Must win 11 races toNew Zealands 9
  • Probably will make no difference though....
    • They're using the lone-wolf excuse that a renagade employee made the changes with nobody noticing. (ya right)
      • Because they got caught!
        • What exactly did they do?
          • Read the short article. Plus it has been on the news a bit... They changed the design of the boat
            • So what?
              • AC battles in the courtroom, not on the water...
              • I don't understand either but it was a crew member with a New Zealand passport..
                • I don't think those are the right numbers.
                  • Not quite - Oracle starts out -2 in points...
                    • So, there could be 19 races?
                      • Funny that the official score is listed now as 2-0.
                        • I think you were correct, DDW. 2 NZL and -2 US
              • There's a little known 'nose picking' penalty
                • Eat what? Finger, hand, or? :^)))
