I genuinely think the discussion in this thread:
viewtopic.php?t=1397&start=15
is also a good tourney format..
My concern with Marcus 16 points for a win, 7 for a loss system is that it doesnt make a lot of sense. I'm not suggesting it doesn't work, far from it, but to my mind it is slightly awkward compared to a 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss system.. At least this mirrors most professional football leagues and is something we are all familiar with..
At T4, Lucy and I wanted a system which represented results and effort, and going into the final game there were 4 players within 5 points of each other. I think we succeeded in our aim. I think the format I suggest in the other topic would also represent the same nail-biting finish!
As far as I am concerned, the right coach won T4, despite losing his first game, Marcus performance was generally excellent (and would have been even better but for a silly misake v Lucy).. Thads, with all respect mate, any system which has you beating Marcus is flawed. Your results were steady and you deserved a top 3 finish, but your team did not merit winning in my opinion. You were content to win 2-1 while Marcus destroyed his opponents where possible! No offence intended, but I think the best 3 teams finished in about the right place, so I think the format worked well...
