I think the main point I wanted to address was to make sure that performances in different tests can be accurately compared as you employ a best 3 out of 4 score system. In the LMI scoring system every test is counted, so when someone has a runaway performance, the difference between other players is still counted towards the standings and still compares the difference between all players.
I had to get a normalised score of minimally 770 in TVC XII to beat Hideaki in the overall standings as I had to gain 77 points on him and my lowest normalised score was 693 before that. But it would mean I had to have beaten Hideaki by 230 normalised points in the last test. So if I had beaten him by a whopping 225, I wouldn't have gotten 3rd place, even though I clearly beat him in 2 out of 3 tests, which happened to be the test with the lowest normalised scores. This is the problem I think currently exists and should be dealt with. The best 3 out of 4 system is what causes problems in the current TVC scoring system and should somehow be adjusted in my opinion.
The easiest would just be to abolish the best 3 out of 4 system and use all 4 tests for the final standings. Although I assume this was implemented because using all 4 tests had caused problems before.
