This document discusses the rules for league sailing and umpired fleet racing. It provides an overview of the key differences between standard racing rules and league/umpired rules, including differences in rules around windward and leeward marks, room to tack, and penalty systems. The presentation focuses on how league and umpired rules are intended to simplify decision making and promote close, exciting racing.
