How can this be fair race management?

In this instance, I like uniformity. I'd hate to go to an open one week and lose on a tie break, then go somewhere else and lose on a tie break under a different system, where I'd have won if the system from the week before was being used. And if I won both, I'd not feel right about it, though I'd laugh, of course...

Sorry, by the time I posted about the 13/14 I thought it was last race score, not lowest race score which I can see now (someone explained it).

It's still f**ked up though.

If a guy beats someone two races to one in a three race event he should win - end of.

That result is bollox.

Which means this scoring system is also bollox, sorry, once more y'all have got it wrong.

Just to muddy the water further when Graeme's favourite class (Solos!) work out prizes for Masters, Grand Masters etc. within a major championship, they count the placings of individual age groups as though no other boats were racing. 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.

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.
