Default JWGC USA update

Rick is a smart guy who understands all these problems deeply.

The perversities of the IGC scoring formulas are well known. The problem is huge institutional inertia against change, not that the person in charge of the subcommittee doesn't understand the issues.

The US scoring formula is monstrously over complex. But at least it has no known incentives to deliberately stop short of the finish or land out. It had those in the past, and they were promptly removed.
