Definitely not fair for the injured person who will lose the competition, even if he might have had the best performance of the year so far. And just because they were organized as such since forever, does not make it fair either. It just makes it a status quo. Nothing more.

The reason it is not unfair is because there is an equal chance for each player to have a bad day. In other words, the disadvantage you describe goes for everybody.
