English term

3-All tie breaker

English to German Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Sailing (Defender Trial, America's Cup) - video
What might "3-all" refer to?

Peter Holmberg:
"We are just at the beginning point of our race training and to have a close race like that and almost pull it off I am not too hard on our guys, I think we did okay."

Speaker:
"A philosophical Peter Holmberg having just lost out to Ed Baird in a 3-ALL TIE BREAKER. The two boats, SUI64 and 91 were surprisingly well matched in speed and the defender trials were providing that hard edge of competition that they won't see until Act 13 and the Americas Cup itself."

David Moore (X) Jun 10, 2007:
Out of the best-of-seven series to decide the yacht to sail for the privilege of defending the America's Cup, they have each won three. So the seventh race becomes the tie-breaker. No brilliant ideas for translating it into German, I'm afraid...
