After Acts 10 and 11, and with Act 12 still to go next month, here are the current standings for the America's Cup Class 2006 Championship (12 points for winning an Act, 11 points for second, 10 for third, etc):
1 - ITA/LR, 22 points
2 - SUI, 21*
3 - USA, 21*
4 - NZL, 20
5 - ITA/ML, 14
6 - RSA, 12*
7 - ESP, 12*
8 - SWE, 10
9 - ITA/39, 9*
10 - FRA, 9*
11 - GER, 4
12 - CHN, 2
* Current ties broken in accordance with NOR 20.6(a).
The big moment just before the finish of yesterday's Race 5 of Act 11
when USA 87 drove over the top of Mascalzone, getting on their air and
collapsing their kite. Passing ITA/ML lifted BMW ORACLE in the Act 11
standings, keeping things tight at the top of the ACC 2006 Championship.
