I personally would like to see the rounds count. I understand the reasons for not doing so and it is hard to argue otherwise, but I do not think those who played the course intelligently and properly, with the hopes of the rounds counting towards their rating, should be penalized.

Players came into the tournament knowing what course was to be played and what the course rules were and those who made the better decisions and played the best should be rewarded with their ratings.

Maybe in the future, a tournament like this could be required to have X tier status, like mulligan tournaments do, but as it was set up, some of us went into the tournament expecting our rounds to be rated.
