My initial feeling on this is that it will be treated like the sound score. It will be on the scoresheet but most CDs won't use it. The difficulty that I see is how does one derermine the difference between say a 6 score and an 8 score? Advanced and Unlimited in the past few years have been very tight classes with the top 3 in each contest having a 100 point or less spead. So lets take Unlimited with the 15K and 4 rounds. With the throw away, thats 450 raw points available. This could very well cost some guys a contest. The judging of this needs better defined criteria to avoid being overly subjective.
