Has there been any thought on "weighting" rounds based on the number of holes played during a round? If somebody shoots 2 rounds of 27 holes and averages 1050 it should really count the same as someone who shot 3 1050 rated rounds of 18 holes. (The 27 hole round should be weighted with a 1.5 factor, 24 hole round with a 1.33 factor) Right now you could have a situation where 2 people play the same 2 tournaments (1st round 27 holes, 2nd round 18 holes), player A wins both events however ends up with a lower average rating than player B who took 2nd in both events simply because he shot better on the 27 hole layout.
