Non Spinnaker Series 2 Results, Who's on first? Two tie or not Two tie?

Here's the rule directly from US Sailing:

A8 SERIES TIES
A8.1 If there is a series-score tie between two or more boats, each boat’s race scores
shall be listed in order of best to worst, and at the first point(s) where there is a difference
the tie shall be broken in favour of the boat(s) with the best score(s). No excluded scores shall be used.
A8.2 If a tie remains between two or more boats, they shall be ranked in order of their scores in the last race.
Any remaining ties shall be broken by using the tied boats’ scores in the next-to-last race and so on until all ties are broken.
These scores shall be used even if some of them are excluded scores.
See Appendix A 8 – Series Ties.
Tiebreaker: 
Appendix A8 Series Ties
------Best races listed from best to worst per A 8.1(excluded races don’t count)
~ Touché      1. 1. 1. 2. 2     (2)
~ Tamarind  1, 1, 1, 2, 2,    (2)
------A 8.2 Last race breaks the tie if A 8.1 fails to break the tie.
~ last race: Touché 1st, Tamarind 2nd

Touché wins the series,

Protest committee:
The Protest committee discussed the unusual circumstances of Race 4 on July 18, 2018.
They decided to let the results stand as posted.  All racers and the order of finish will remain unchanged.

Our Choptank NOR&SI will be modified before next season to clarify finish lines to eliminate ambiguities.
A formal notice will be emailed by the Race committee chairman shortly.
