iGenesis 12/10/11 11:01:00 AM #1:	The current system puts a disproportionate weight on the later rounds, so that someone may get all the initial rounds perfect but mess up on a late pick and finish terribly. Instead of this Round 1 = 1pt. Round 2 = 2pt. Round 3 = 4pt. Round 4 = 8pt. ... Round X = 2^(X-1)pt. I think we should have this: Round 1 = 1pt. Round 2 = 2pt. Round 3 = 3pt. Round 4 = 4pt. ... Round X = Xpt. The battle contest partially solves this problem but requires long streaks of consecutively correct predictions. If entrant A had a perfect bracket except the final pick and a Round 1 pick, he'd lose the bracket contest and the battle contest (the wrong R1 pick would end the streak)...so this scoring system isn't a good reflection of an entry's quality. -- *GameFAQs.com: Where YOU make the content, but CBS makes the money.* http://lueshi.info/Mario_Zelda_Tier_List.gif <cite>iGenesis posted [p:535855] in The scorin...

The current system puts a disproportionate weight on the later rounds, so that someone may get all the initial rounds perfect but mess up on a late pick and finish terribly.

Instead of this
Round 1 = 1pt.
Round 2 = 2pt.
Round 3 = 4pt.
Round 4 = 8pt.
...
Round X = 2^(X-1)pt.

I think we should have this:
Round 1 = 1pt.
Round 2 = 2pt.
Round 3 = 3pt.
Round 4 = 4pt.
...
Round X = Xpt.

The battle contest partially solves this problem but requires long streaks of consecutively correct predictions.

If entrant A had a perfect bracket except the final pick and a Round 1 pick, he'd lose the bracket contest and the battle contest (the wrong R1 pick would end the streak)...so this scoring system isn't a good reflection of an entry's quality.
