According to the web site, the overall result was decided after a protest. Anyone have any idea what the protest was about?

Watch the video from Day 4 - it shows Hilfiger and Motorola in a near collision during a start. I'm not sure what the other event was between Hilfiger and Brasilica.

It looks like RS fouled them during the start. They were leeward and (??) called for RS to come up but they didn't. That is my interpretation of the video. But then again a bottle of wine doesn't help <img src=
