That would benefit a player more than 1 out of 20 rounds if assuming they are randomly dropped from a round. Considering that the player is probably dropping due to poor performance it would rate their round higher than actual more often than that.
If you were to actually handle dropped rounds this way, then you would probably want to make it 2.5 standard deviations plus one point (and not exceeding 99 rating points) lower than average so that it was at the lowest rating that could be included in the rating.
