10.5 is 11, no it's not

Is it done to encourage or motivate players for a cut? I am currently teetering on 12.4, one more 0.1 and I will be playing off 13 which will be a valuable shot to try and get back to 12 or lower. If I had to (potentially) wait for another 5 x 0.1's to get that extra shot it would be rather demotivating IMO. Just a thought.
