How can this be fair race management?

Originally posted by iGRF Yes. if such a scenario occurred i.e. they all got 123 then it's a tie for 1st place.

Originally posted by iGRF 2 Wins out of three no matter what the score, is the only fair solution if you want to reward consistency and not lucky flier flukes. That was the whole purpose of the old short series system. (I should qualify that, by saying that three race events all should count and discards should not be entertained until race four) Another reason for me to stick to one race events, those results would have me spitting nails.

It is thus mathematically possible for a Master, say, who finishes ahead of another Master in the overall classification to finish behind the other guy when the Masters only classification is calculated, which might seem peverse - but it can cut both ways if it is the system always used.
