It was established by the Gentry of the GYA that the Lipton Cup crew list is for historical purposes and therefore can be turned in whenever a team wants. The penalty for not following this rule is 2.5% of the fleet added to your score then rounded down. So no negative consequence

The circumstances around how this was established were simple. A club that that is just a bunch of good sports there for a good time where negativity affected because they didn’t turn in their historical documents. So they just chilled out after the regatta for three hours until the judges finally agreed with their laidback attitude towards the penalty for potentially altering history

They had some intoxicated experts in GYA history give relevant precedent as to why no penalty should apply.

Finally after three hours of boredom caused only by a failure to follow a simple historical records rule and zero clarification Saturday on what the penalty will be., the just laidback team got to blame others for the delay and leave with their trophy
