Subject: Oh,?, why is scoring 2nd silly?
Info: (24028 views) Posted: Saturday 12-6-08 05:04:12 PM
Hi Bob:

One question. Why in a low point system is scoring the second place boat 2nd silly? Appears on the surfance to be level method across a series. Where and how does this system fail to encourage series participation?

Thanks, mb

:: Hi Bob:
::
:: Thanks for the inputs on scoring systems aimed at
:: participation in mind.
::
:: So for the current system, add more F/LD Series throw
:: outs into the schedule to encourage more participants
:: across the series.
::
:: Want to say anything more on High Point? Seeems more
:: complicated?
::
:: mb
::
:: :: No dog in this hunt, but.......
:: ::
:: :: Low Point scoring is inherently unfair in series made up
:: :: of different events. Scoring the second place boat "2"
:: :: whether there's two or ten boats is silly.
:: ::
:: :: I think your current system is a Cox-Sprauge derivative.
:: :: It's very fair, and if you want to require more
:: :: participation, just state a higher number of required
:: :: races to count.
:: ::
:: :: Another scoring method which works is high point, with a
:: :: set high point race value (say each race is worth 20
:: :: points). The winner is going to get twenty no matter how
:: :: many boats are racing. A boats score is ((the number of
:: :: boats beaten plus one) divided by (the number of boats
:: :: racing)) times (the race value).
:: ::
:: :: Unless you're very certain that you'll get a consistent
:: :: number of boats at each event in the series, low point
:: :: will discourage participation.
:: ::
:: :: Bob
:: ::
:: :: :: 2) In response to your post on e27 scoring system vs.
:: :: :: low point. Environmentally the current scoring method
:: :: :: for the F/LD series, consistently demonstrates that a
:: :: :: boat can win the series by sailing the minimum (four
:: :: :: this year) most attended F/LD events. And this has been
:: :: :: true since the F/LD seriies started. This is the
:: :: :: annomalous worm hole I'd like to regulate against. So,
:: :: :: I've proposed a low point scoring system for F/LD only
:: :: :: as one strategy to close this jump gate.
