reflects the outcome of the contest if you were to end after any
one of the rounds. I kind of like how they did it in Canada, they
kept all rounds flown and did not show you the 4 out of 6 until
the contest was over and they announced the winers, kind of kept
you guessing, or figuring!

<div>The normalizing options will be fun to play with, I am going
to go back to last years contests and see how this would have
changed the outcomes, could be a fun k-factor write up. The
average normalization is kind of a cool idea.<br>

<p>As it looks to me you would be throwing out a round
after the third round has been flown. Correct? While
some may have their worst rounds during the first three,
some may have their best. I prefer to have the
opportunity of more rounds to choose from when the time
comes for that. So as far as my choice, I think it
points to remaining as we are. Or better yet, fly all
six and throw out the high and low scores. </p>
<p>The other normalization schemes would be interesting to
see, and after a couple of years if the majority likes
one of them we could use it in a contest.<br>
Just my three cents worth and always open for
discussion.</p>

fun to see the affect. I have heard a lot of speculation
about using no normalization so now we can see!<br>
