We are only a small voice but I would suggest changing the rules to the
affect that if you are less than 600ft AGL that is your GPNS land out position
This would mean there are no points to be gained from low scrapes.

This is one of those good ideas that gets worse as you try to implement it.

The problem is how do you enforce it?
How does the pilot know if he is or was less than 600ft? If he doesn't know he has to assume he wasn't and keep racing?
Does coming in at 90kts at 500 ft and pulling up to 650 in a 10kt thermal disqualify you?
Does passing over a Ridge at 500 (or 300 or 200) feet disqualify you?

I don't think a rule will work, plus it only addresses contest flying. However I have gotton on the radio and told a pilot he was setting a bad example and it was time for him to land. We do need to do more of this and teach pilots to apply this kind of peer pressure.
