Here's a reminder of the two scoring systems left in the Poll:
----------
Scoring System No.1 by Roncli:
100 for a win, 50 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. If you win, add the point difference to the score.
Player 5, Computer 5 - 50 points for a draw.
Player 40, Computer 0 - 100 points for a win plus 40 points difference, 140 total.
Player 0, Computer 40 - 0 points for a loss.
Player 40, Computer 20 - 120 points for a win plus 20 points difference, 120 total.

Scoring System No.3 by Matt Denham:
Formula: 1000 * (player's score + 1) * (player's score - computer's score) / (loser's score + 1)
Examples:
Player 8, Computer 3: 1000 * (8+1) * (8-3) / (3+1) = 11,250
Player 6, Computer 0: 1000 * (6+1) * (6-0) / (0+1) = 42,000
Player 11, Computer 1: 1000 * (11+1) * (11-1) / (1+1) = 60,000
Player 4, Computer 14: 1000 * (4+1) * (4-14) / (4+1) = -10,000
Player 5, Computer 6: 1000 * (5+1) * (5-6) / (5+1) = -1000
Player 0, Computer 1: 1000 * (0+1) * (0-1) / (0+1) = -1000
Pros: Ties are almost impossible, and, for the most part, final scores are relatively logical (shutouts are worth the most of any game where you score a certain number of runs, and games are worth more the more runs you score).
Cons: Games where the player loses are worth negative amounts of points (and losses by N runs are worth simply N*(-1000)).
