Chris, that would make sense if there was a top shooter for Brennan to shoot against. Since its our Provincials, and we use our own ranking system, I think the match winner should, by default, be the one everyone else is measured against. Now if someone shows up and beats Brennan at every match next season, Brennan's rank would drop and the other guy would become the top dog. I think it's grossly unfair that he isn't considered the top guy, when he won the provincial championships. Your example only applies to ICS, and if we were to consider that across the board, we'd have maybe one Master in the entire country and a bunch of A's and a crap load of B C D's with the vast majority of shooters occupying D most likely. And that wouldn't be much fun.
