I think the main point, and the point Andy is trying to make, is:

NOT what would have the results been if we after the fact change
the rules to allow drops

IS what would people have done differently in their race scheduling
if the rules allowed drops before the fact.


Looking at my own situation, Jack Hall beat me fair and square (congrats Jack!)
but he missed two races, and I missed three...so even if we apply
the 2 drops rule after the fact, it doesn't change anything.

However, before the season started I knew I had to miss one (HS graduation)
and I thought the no drops rule would kill my chances, so I didn't
schedule in NJMP.

Had there been 2 drops in the rules from the beginning, I am quite
certain that I would've gone to the NJMP double...which may or may
not have changed the outcome...

The construct of the rules have to be looked at in light of what behavior
they will encourage and discourage, and compare that to the goal
