Times article linked says But by winning seven races in succession, including two on Tuesday, Oracle has tied the series at 8-8.

  • Oracle Sweeps Two Races to Tie America’s Cup

    SAN FRANCISCO — Oracle Team USA swept two races against Emirates Team New Zealand in the America's Cup on Tuesday, completing a monumental comeback to tie the event and forcing a winner-take-all race on Wednesday. 


Only problem is: Kiwis need to win 9, but Oracle needs to win 11 to take the cup. Oracle was found guilty of some infraction in the lead-up and were penalized...

edit: maybe not. Could have sworn I heard that when I was watching the first race.

this new format is pretty exciting. 31m lead at 30 knots is just a whisker, soooo close.

New Zealand has always been good for the Cup and they deserve to win. I'd just like them to stay at one for a while so we can see more racing.

Race 10 offered the kind of racing I was hoping to see. A really close start at the gun, lead changes on the upwind leg, tight roundings in the gates, more close crossings downwind. Hopefully Oracle can pull out a few more wins just so we can get one or two more close races before it's over.

 
Agreed, I think it is going to be really close from here on in.

I imagine Oracle will close the gap but ETNZ only needs a couple of wins to take it. It will be a nail-biting finish, depending a lot on which team make the next big performance gains. Even then, one stupid mistake at this level and you lose the race, even if you do have the better boat.

Oracle have done something. Don't know what it is, but ETNZ no longer have the advantage upwind with Oracle winning the last three races.

 
Yup, they've ditched John Kostecki and got Ben Ainslie on board.
 
And the Kiwis nearly went swimming.....

Really? I was ready to write them off after race 7.

Now I'll have to check in the next few races.
