No I wasn't joking. To avoid any possible confusion in the future and since English is not your first language I'll be sure to indicate if I am joking.

"How else is the Metric going to function"

i) Maybe accept that it doesn't fit every type of racing situation

ii) If you are going to use a PLT maybe by doing something reasonable to get it.

Let me just get what you are saying straight. For purposes of the formula always use the rule of 62 (or some minor variant)? As an example how would it handle the case where the leader on turn has 15 checkers on the acepoint?
