But this happens with regular losses anyhow. That is, you can narrate your opponents loss and reducing his AP below yours the same way that you'd narrate a transfer. All that matters is relative position. Transfers just make things swing more dramatically, and make extended contests have more points to keep track of.
I'm not totally against the idea, it works just fine. It's just not really neccessary, and in some circumstances it creates a difficulty in being intuitively understandable, as in the race example. In my opinion - thie really is one of those YMMV issues.
