I wanted to put out the question to the group here to see if I am interpreting
this correctly.
In the 1st qualification area of the US, there are 3 qualifying districts, W1,
W2, W3. If the highest score in W1 is 5 Million and the highest score in W2 is
4 Million and the highest score in W3 is 3 Million, there will be 3 people that
made those highest scores earning 1,000 points - assuming they are all HP
Unassisted. So instead of 1 winner of the area there are actually 3 winners of
the area for every contest. And there are only 3 TL selected from the W1, W2,
W3 area. Even though there could have been numerous scores much higher than
the W3 score in this example, the W3 winner will get the same credit as if they
had the 5 Million score.
If the above is correct, this seems highly distorted. You are guaranteeing 3 x
1000 point winners in the contest vs it should only have 1 x 1000 points.
Please comment on whether this is in fact right. Doesn't feel right....
