FF Match Scoring - Page 2

[QUOTE=Jiggles]I think that playing 3 maps is less friendly b/c the 3rd map almost always favors one clan - not a "neutral" tiebreaker.[QUOTE]

its fairer because 1 team picks a map from oppositions list of maps, other team does the same, and the 3rd is a map supplied by the league which 9/10 is a new/unplayedish map. i.e, the clan that pracs gets rewarded with an advantage

I have faith it will be work in FF, its just a pet peeve of mine.

Oh god, let me tell you. Having the class/team menu work perfectly, and the scoreboard as well.. That's up there with the dead bug and the nail gren lag bug being gone for most major longstanding annoyance from TFC that isn't present in FF. It's awesome having control over the problems. I can't overstate that..

That is certainly more fair than OGL's system, but I don't think it's any more fair than playing 2 rounds of 1 map. Plus, clans each picking a map probably leads to a fair number of 3rd rounds. At least it did when I played in OGL.

Another thing I like about adding scores is that clans can't really "give up" a round - thinking "oh well, we'll get them next round!"

yeh, our scoring prevents giving up as well though, awarding points on a per map basis as well as a match basis. like, winning a map by will get you a point, winning it by double their score will get you a bonus point and playing the map with a full roster will get you a point. so even when a team has lost a map (100-60 with 5 mins to go), its almost like a second match starts because now you dont want them to get the bonus point

plus, aus only play 1 match a week lolz, so its a weekly event and the 1.5 hr sacrifice isnt too bad ~

They just decide to give up round 2 since there's no hope of winning if they get destroyed rnd1.

Yeah some do, but it's better if they give up then, cuz you don't have to play another round with the jerks

Plus, I've been in tons of matches where we've come back from a large 1st rd deficit. And the reverse, where we've pissed away a huge lead
