It is significant that NZ is now ahead of Oracle on the points table for two reasons.
If we remain top of the points table (or top after Oracle) than in the semi-final we get to pick our opponent.
But more importantly if we win the qualifiers and make the America’s Cup final, then we start with a one point advantage against Oracle (or they start at -1).
