Proposal to scale back points awarded to clones
Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2001 12:30 pm
As the new regulation coordinator, I am putting forth a new proposal to change the way LB points are awarded for clones. YOU of course get to vote on this issue and I will accept votes for 7 days from the time of this posting.
<p>
The idea is this: Let's say a game has a master and four clones that are associated with it. That's 5 games so there are 500 LB points up for grabs. There have been arguments in the past such as: clones aren't as important or "worth as much" as originals and also that it's a lot of work for a player to be the top scorer in all the clones. That said, to minimize the "value" of the clones and distribute the points in a fairer manner this is the proposal: Award 100 points for the original game and furthermore only allow an additional 100 points (rather than the current 400) for the clones. Hence the top score for each clone will be limited to 25 points. An offshoot of this scoring is to only allow 100 points for the entire game set (original and clones), and in this case each of the five games would only get a max LB point score of 20 points. So to recap...
<p>
VOTE A: 100 LB points for the original + 100 LB points evenly divided between just the clones
<p>
VOTE B: 100 LB points divided evenly between the original AND all the clones
<p>
VOTE C: 100 LB points for each original and each clone. Keep everything as is, dumb idea Pat!
