It'll probably take some mental readjusting to get used to such high point totals (If you go 5-0 at a GPT, you can have anywhere between 20 and 30 points - more than most people get at GPs nowadays!) but it's nothing the system itself couldn't handle.<br /><br />One other issue is that this will still make Swiss rounds be scored differently than single-elimination rounds, which doesn't solve the "feature match at end of event" problem.Jenesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356037137564501914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-23741690388132543612017-02-01T12:08:01.060-05:002017-02-01T12:08:01.060-05:00Edited 2/1/17 to include helpful observations from...Edited 2/1/17 to include helpful observations from Twitter:<br />That scoring a full point each for a draw rewards intentional or purposeful draws too much.<br />That going first will be affected.<br />That sideboards will be used more.<br />That more tiebreakers is worse than originally rated.Jay Treathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428861685923241850noreply@blogger.com
