Team EU had 23 points and Team USA had 22 points. Good games everyone, this going to be a fun January.
This proves my point, if team Virginia went undefeated we could only get 18 points.
I understand penalizing your own team for missing members but not for the other team missing members.
Maybe when all is said and done all that really matters is total wins.
Flagg I got disconnected on XBL so easier on here...You said when we play a big team, but what if a big team in the end purposely only has a few players play to prevent other team from scoring a lot so they can't take the lead or something.
even total wins wouldn't matter, unless it was averaged.
The possible points in the euro match were over double in ours...even if travokane had shown up.
I meant win as a team not as individuals.
Guys.
If we had played Team Texas the most piints we could get off them would be 24 and the most they could get off us would be 24.
The point system is fair. You just played a smaller team. When we play Texas we won't get the chance to win as many points off them as a team of 4 and vice versa.
Edit: who is seriously going to tell their team mates "don't play cause we want to win"?
Team USA has as many players as us as well. You only have 1 less player than us.
Do points even matter in the long run or is it strictly for the immediate match for that night?
Say Team Virginia has the best record of 9-1 and 2nd best is 8-2, Team Virginia wins over all correct? Or is it if the team with 8-2 has more points over Team Virginia they get first place? Because to my understanding the point system is to even out a 2v5 match up and would make no sense in the long run.
Hey Flagg, I have been following your tournaments for while and you have been organising this well. I thought of pointing out something I noticed as regards to the point system. I think that if any team has a larger number of members, that team has a higher chance of winning as compared to as team with lower members. This is how.
Team EU has 5 members and thus it has chance of getting a maximum of 120 points (24*5)
Team Texas has 3 members and thus it has a chance of getting a maximum of 72 points (24*3).
Thus even with both teams having a perfect record Team EU wins because of the higher number of members. Also I took into consideration that such a scenario will not occur (since if one member wins 2 points the other should either get 1 or 0). But still I feel that a team with higher players has a higher chance of winning compared to teams with lower players.
You can also think of it in this way. Assume that this was not a team tourny and there were no team present and all the 25 players played individually. Once we got the scores we now divide them into teams probably based on area to see which area does better. While doing so assigning unequal number of members between the areas will not show who the true winner is. For example Team A got 65 points from 5 members and team B got 45 points from 3 players. Here prima facie, Team A looks like the winner due to the highest number of points. But I think in actuality Team B is the winner because the average point per member in Team B is 15 which is higher than the average point per member in Team A which is 13.
Thus I think as Treadmill suggested, averaging the points at the end is the way to go about it.
You may have thought of it already and perhaps I may be wrong as well in this logic, but I just thought of letting you know if at all you missed it.
Cheers mate, Good Luck with the tourny.
