Default Is the 200ft below Min Finish Height Rule Working?

Unfortunately the rules committee has failed to reverse a very unpopular rule change. It was clear by the overwhelming negative vote at 15M nats that the pilots don't like it.

Why not make a simple rule that gives a penalty for a finish lower than the official finish height and leave the rest alone.

How about this

1 mile finish ring at 500 Agl.

You miss it you get a 25 point penalty and -0.4 points per foot.

This would give a maximum of 225 points penalty. It gives plenty of incentive to stop and find lift.
