Courage? Or did he simply conclude that fighting through Tokyo traffic -- very rarely even having to find his own lift -- wasn't a valid test for selecting a champion of the sport we know and love called "Soaring"?

The IGC seems to be locked into this notion that the peloton must always score well, even if it does not finish. Imagine what might happen if we flushed those rules and did something innovative (lol) like 600 points for speed, 400 for distance. No devaluations, no re-valuations. Everyone knows at all times what points are in play and how to earn them.

Instead of bashing IGC you can contact your IGC delegate (who happens to be Annex A sub-group chair BTW), or IGC president (your compatriot) directly, and propose rule change. IGC does what pilots collectively want. Good proposals will be put forward to rules. Just saying "someone should do something" gets you nowhere. Score formula changes are not easy or simple, they might work with some scenarios, but at the same time do opposite in others, or create new unwanted behaviour.
