ok... how's this:
player "A" wins a tour with 20 players.. he earns 20 points 20th place 1 pt)
player "B" wins a tour w/ 10 players.. earning 10 pts (10th place 1 pt)
both players continue to play all 18 tours, and take turns winning, but at the 18th, both players would need to drop their worst TEN tour point totals! ( 1 drop for each win) assuming the competition was identical in each tour, player "A" would have earned 351 points (winning 9, 2d place in 9) but by dropping his 10 worse (all 2d places) he would end up with 180 points.
player "B" having scored 191 total (9 wins at 10 each, and 9, 2nds at 9 each) but dropping his 10 worse, would leave him with 90.

not completing or not competing, earns NO points. so go ahead and not finish. does that hurt the winner?... hmmm yes. if everyone 'not play', he'd only score 1 point. but i'll play it out and score 2d place
if you want a good place in the overall standings you'll have to finish.
if i'm not understanding you completly, please elaborate!
