Go up one level in this thread


The exact proposed model would be completely equivalent to the current scoring
system. In effect, you just introduce a penalty of half a point for playing a
game, and then multiply the scores with two. When everybody plays the same
number of games, this means no difference to the current scoring system.

To make a score system essentially different from the current, you would have to
grant a draw a different score than the average of a win and a loss. For
instance, you could use the soccer system

0 for loss
1 for draw
3 for win

Equivalent would be

0 for loss
1/3 for draw
1 for win

or

-1 for loss
0 for draw
2 for win

Any system that grants draws a score equal to the average of the score of a win
and a loss would be equivalent to the current scoring system.
