It can be confusing, but it’s good to know -- failure to yield properly could result in points on your license. Who goes first at a four-way stop? NC law says these drivers have the right-of-way

(Rule 15) A boat that changes course, even if it has the right-of-way, shall do so in a manner that gives the burdened boat a chance to "keep clear" (Rule 16).
Priority or right of way is the decision criterion used in foil and sabre fencing to determine which fencer receives the touch, or point, when both fencers land a hit within the same short time-frame (less than 1 second). After this window, if one fencer had already landed a hit, the electrical scoring apparatus would "lock-out," or fail to ...
