The Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series runs over two years - 2015 and 2016. The winner of the series will carry two points forward into the round robin phase. Second place in the series carries one point. At the end of the round robin, any ties will be broken using these results. That means the AC World Series could determine which team receives the bonus point for the America's Cup Match and which team is eliminated.

1 Emirates Team New Zealand 54

3 Land Rover BAR 46
4 SoftBank Team Japan 43

Photos from the Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series Gothenburg
Land Rover BAR used their Code Zero to pass Emirates Team New Zealand at the finish on Race 2 on Saturday. ETNZ did not have their Code Zero rigged, so they could not respond. ETNZ went on to win Image: ACTV
In the light air on Sunday, tactician Ray Davies and wing trimmer Glenn Ashby both moved far forward leaving helmsman Peter Burling with lots to do - steer, trim the wing and adjust the daggerboard rake. ETNZ is the most consistent team - they have finished third or better in all six races in the series so far.
OTUSA tactician Tom Slingsby was "on fire" on Saturday, guiding his team to two wire to wire wins. Unfortunately, on Sunday, with double points on the line, OTUSA could only manage two fourth place finishes, good enough to keep them in second place for the regatta.
The LiveLine graphics are even sharper than in 2013. Here OTUSA holds on to fourth place in Race 3 on Sunday, just ahead of Land Rover BAR.
