What I find strange about it is that one single CPU micro could outright beat
all other single CPU micros (and thereby beat all competitors in the micro
category), but lose the micro title if some other single CPU micro beat some of
the multi-CPU micros or the non-micro entries.

It would be better to put each program into the appropriate category
(developer's choice) and do not have games between the two categories. And
allowing the same program on different hardware (once in each category) should
be allowed as well.
