Boys, boys...<div>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.<div>Jim<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: shannonkari@rogers.com<br>To: inquisition@cfaj.ca<br>Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2011 16:23:13 -0400<br>Subject: Re: [CI] scoring system<br><br>

<div style="font-style:normal;display:inline;font-family:'Calibri';color:#000000;font-size:small;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">Hi
everyone, <br>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.<br><br>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.<br>I'll see everybody tonight!<br>Sujit <br>
