Christmas Race
After seeded based on record, followed by a single-elimination knockout round[9] All races were to be run on Course A,[10] but races were abandoned due to light winds, with no winner declared. The race between Emirates Team New Zealand and Ineos Team UK started, and the course was shortened to four legs midway through the race. New Zealand held a commanding lead, expecting to finish before the UK had even completed their first lap but, as NZ did not reach the finish line within the 45-minute time limit, the race was declared over with no winner.[11] Winds did not increase during the day, and so the second semi-final and finals races were abandoned with backup day having been scheduled.[12]
