[CI] scoring system

[Shannon Kari]

If you only skimmed through everyone’s suggestions, how would you know if they are thoughtfully posed?
And actually, win-loss record, boils down to number of wins and losses. The equity of the win-loss record, may arguably boil down to strength of schedule.

Hi everyone, 
I've only skimmed through everyone's suggestions and I don't mean to scorn anyone's opinion, as they are all thoughtfully posed. But the games seem pretty balanced to me. For example, last week's Dickens round had Oliver Twist on one side followed by The Christmas Carol on the other, and then Tale of Two Cities followed by Great Expectations; bottom line, fair.

And the way to decide the third finalist also seems fair. Win-Loss record boils down to strength of schedule, whereas the points & questions are fair game for everyone. Having the highest score for the whole season means you are one of the most consistent and best teams and thus deserve to make the Finals. The best way to remedy this, if there is indeed a problem, would be to have more playoffs, but that's too much stress on the question setters and makes seasons too long, I think.
I'll see everybody tonight!
Sujit
