You guys are mixing in “real life� with NHC tournament play. The point of the original post and article is that the 2wp format favors those taking stabs at bombs in every race and hoping to get lucky, and is not a true reflection of handicapping ability. Sure, we all hit some long shots based on handicapping, but the format lends itself to random results, where luck plays a much larger role than it should. I think most would agree that the live money format tends to be more reflective of skill.
