[CI] scoring system

[Jim Slotek]

Boys, boys...I'm with my teammate Brian on this. The fact that we're missing the finals with a 9-1 record is tough to swallow. But rules are rules, and no matter which you adopted, it would shake down inequitably from time to time. The teams that deserve to be there usually are.Jim

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
