Thanks for the response, Chuck, although i didn't think the course SSA really had an impact on the mean ratings generated, only the shape of the distribution. I thought the average of the propagators ratings would be used to determine the base ratings, and the SSA helped shape that distribution (more narrowly/widely per stroke).
I also think you can get rid of the deliberately poor rounds if bad rounds aren't dropped. I can't think of a reason a player would shoot a deliberately poor round except in the circumstance where they are having a bad round, and then try to ensure that the bad round is bad enough not to impact their ratings (and even then, i would expect that the majority of players don't think/play that way).
