I'm sorry, but I am still trying to get my head around a scoring system that has a person who was in the top 3 in the prelims, the semis, and the first two flights of the finals ends up in seventh place based on the final 2 flights. Did he crash? Hit a judge with his plane?? How does that happen?

And a guy who was never in the top 5 for all those same rounds ends up in second place.

No disrespect is meant for the actual pilots, nor am I questioning their skills. I am just interested in how that scoring system works and how anyone can honestly say that it sorted the field of pilots properly.
