You may have a point, & of course you can bring it up at a meeting & see what the other guys think. To be honest, though, I've never seen throw-outs hurt someone's standings. Also, one of the ideas behind the throw-outs is to keep more people in the race for the TOC & keep the interest level high thru the end of the season. There are times when guys have to miss one or two tournaments because of personal reasons, &, without the throwouts, they might be effectively eliminated from making the TOC or having a shot at AOY.

I'm not claiming the idea works 100%, but when you have 31 guys show up for a tournament in September, that's a pretty good sign. Of course, I'm comparing this to the late 90's, when we were lucky to have 6 or 7 guys show up.
