to IronAxe: I will not answer in numbers, as I believe they would not convince you.
I will answer simply, in words.
Let's take your situation for example and transfer it, say, to a running race—a hundred-meter dash.
What we see is that runner E reasonably takes third place in the second Competitive event, and he won't be remembered for trailing the leader by just a little bit, but rather that someone else overtook him. i.e., he is third.
In competitions, it's not the leader's result that is determined, but how many people wedged themselves between the leader and the runner. No one cares how many seconds someone trailed the leader (well, except for the runner himself and his coach, of course :D).
Consequently, place must be taken into account in the rating.
Respectfully.
P.S. to Kamikaze: please do not make such large quotes.
