What is Low-point scoring in Sailing?

The standard scoring system: each race scores points equal to finishing position, non-finishers score entries plus one, the worst race is usually discarded, and the lowest net total wins the series.

Example: With scores of 2-1-3-1, she led on net points after the discard.
