It's not that they are scratching preventable scratches... for a thrower it's easy (especially in shot) to see if your throw is any good/your best one of the comp etc. If it's fallen clearly a meter short of your best throw so far, what's the point in having it measured - won't matter in a countback if it's that obviously worse too.
