Me too, I liked picking engines 4th 5th and 6th better, this new mode feels very arbitrary.

One thing I hate about the new system is, if the engine I picked get the 11th spot, I get the score for that engine and not for one of the top engines...

well, I have found the new system better than the one that's been around for a while.

if someone chose the engine that gets 11th, they will get the points of the 5th placed engine in original list, whereas if someone chose the 7th place engine, they will get the points of 4th place engine and vice versa.(engines 8th, 9th and 10th will get the points of 1st, 2nd ,3rd)

What about someone who picks the 14th, 15th and 16th engine? It would be better for them to pick engines 1, 2 and 3 and get the score of 8th, 9th and 10th..

No, Maybe I didn't explain it clearly. I may use example as this is quite math like complicated enough.

This is the table that shows the main results and EPC ranking.

Code: Select all

1 -   16
2 -   14
3 -   12
4 -   10
5 -    8
6 -   6
7 -   4
8 -   1st
9 -   2nd 
10-   3rd
11-   5
12-   7
13-   9
14-  11
15-  13
16-  15

if A picked 7,12,8.

he will get the scores of 4th, 7th and 1st ranked engines(from main results table).

another example: If B picked 4th, 16th and 8th

he will get the scores of 10th, 15th and 1st(from the main results).

This is fair I think.

That's fair enough...
