But still the numbers so far make sense. I suspect that there is some mathematical explanation for that. I guess that: In Formula One races the drivers earn their start positions, and so they in each race especially compete against a handful of equally strong drivers. Whereas here in this tournament, everybody every time compete against everybody. And thus the winner in our tournament is more efficiently and quicker found; this is my theory. 04-29/13:47 xerxes: @Hagbard. You are right re the F1 points. The potential disadvantage for us is that we are only having 4 rounds instead of the 23 in F1. That gives a big advantage to the winners of each round given that they get 7 more points than the player finishing second. 04-29/08:08 Hagbard: The Formula One way of giving points is interesting! It's all about position. As in the cars' race it's a fight for every centimeter (every won game), not for the centimeter/game, but to get ahead of other players. The three front runners of any race are strongly favoured. And all the way through the field one more won game can mean many extra points. Or if you're already much ahead, one more won game can mean nothing. 04-27/23:30 Hagbard: Forår https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc7b_FSeNa4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc7b_FSeNa4 04-27/22:49 Hagbard: Forårsdag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyHuc7VgwtYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyHuc7VgwtY 04-27/18:05 Hagbard: Now that almost all top players are in the Daldos14, too, this could be added to the F1 test. 04-21/08:03 Hagbard: F1 points test round 1 Sahkku: #1 25 points: Holidayinnes (22) #2 18 points: Tonythebook (16), Hagbard (16), Colophonius (16) #5 10 points: Rosk (15), Draganov (15) #7 6 points: Potapych (13) #8 4 points: Nikolai hristov (12), Cacreal (12), Jilles (12) > #10 0 points: Xerxes (11), Brave-frog (9), Jrton80 (9), Thorfin (4) 04-19/21:23 Draganov: Another interesting match for me would be a 'strong king challenge'. 10 games of Fetlar, 10 games of Old Hnefatafl, 10 games of Copenhagen, 10 games of Copenhagen Bell, 10 games of Total Hnefatafl. I am open to play such a marathon against everyone. |
