Default Ratings question

Chuck my quest to better understand the ratings continues.

I understand why in some tourneys the ratings for different rounds might be averaged so a 51 in a morning round might match the rating of a 51 in an afternoon round on the same course..

Take a look at these results.

This was a 2 day event. Round 1 was a 21 hole course in Pueblo's City Park. For round 2 about 10-12 holes were moved to longer harder positions. Round 3 was at Widefield, a completely different course in a different city.

Shooting a par round of 63 gets a rating of 984 regardless of which layout or course was played.

I don't think so. Can you please explain why the ratings for this event were done this way? They are in no way an accurate representation of what happened at this event.

Thx
