America's Cup World Series Results/Standings
The America's Cup World Series ended today in the City by the Bay.
In a close finish Team USA or one of the Oracle boats skippered by Russell Coutts beat out the Oracle boat skippered by James Spithill by mere seconds.
It was a dramatic finish.
There were two types of races. Match races and fleet races. The fleet races are where they earn points.
Team USA skippered by Spithill earned the most points in the fleet races with 86 total points. Followed by Luna Rossa - Piranha with 85 points. Team Korea came in third in the fleet races with 65 points.
ORACLE TEAM USA - Skippered by SPITHILL won against
Emirates Team New Zealand and Artemis Racing White lost to ORACLE TEAM USA - Skippered by COUTTS in the match races.

I have included graphics of the results and standings amongst the photos. I have also included a photo of what the actual America's Cup looks like.
