Facts

Jack JEDI infringed for some times already rrs11, by not keeping clear of SAF TTW (see definition of keep clear in 2017-2020 RRS Fleet book)
When SAF TTW needs to luff, complying with rrs12, Jack JEDI is so close windward of him that Nadeo umpire considered SAF TTW did not give Jack JEDI room to keep clear.
Jack JEDI, seeing and knowing that Fix Oder Nix WR luffed, knows he must keep clear. Moreover he knows also, that SAF TTW which is just leeward of him must do same. However he does not start a luff to prevent what occured a couple seconds later.

SAF pencancel accepted, no further action.
Jack DSQ for breaking RRS 11 on SAF
Fix oder Nix no action.
