Here in Canada most of the events I'm aware of are 4 official runs although
occassionally we will have 3 runs when strapped for time (like the last local
event due to shorter evening daylight hours and doing it after work on Wednesday
night).
In fact our rules say that: "There shall be a minimum of three (3) timed runs,
except under unforeseen circumstances."
A couple of years ago we had one event in which we managed only 2 runs
(organizational problems that have been fixed since) before we had to call it
due
to a lack of light. The "official" results were struck and we gave a free entry
for the make-up event which replaced that one.
I don't recall ever hearing of 2 official runs myself and I believe that back in
the early '70's our rules were more in line with the SCCA.
However, I do have a Canadian Rule book dating back to 1971 in my hands and in
there it says that "Every competitor should have a minimum of 2 timed runs."

How about that?......learn something new every day!
