Well, I was thinking about that too after my initial post. Perhaps not, but
it would be great if the option to toughen things up via the arbiter (who is
usually part of the organizers team) and take some of the incentive out of
the practice by making three draws necessary to overcome a one point
deficit.

Something like that, but it seems to me to be a sensible two pronged
approach as written. The statement is certainly easy enough to understand
being only two sentences long.

Just a thought.
