haha you still havent crunched those numbers yet =P
unless you do so, akuma will prove you wrong hahha

I dont see how a team coming first in the East PL can score more points then a team coming last in the West PL. With that 1-12 system, a team getting 1st place in the East is worth 12 points compared to 1 point from the last placed team in the West. That seems plain and simple to me, but I could be fooled by an illusion.

Until you can show me the light and show me the way. I will continue to be ignorant and be fooled.

RabidCamel I understand the maths.

Koop I understand the pychology.

That is why perhaps the current system is the best as it satisfies both needs.

The point differential is the key, not the number of points. I didn't bother crunching the numbers because people said, essentially, "yeah, you're right, but we don't care", so there was no point :)

Is it absolutely necessary that the PL season be the same length as the regular season?

I apologise, you're correct; we should never joke about important Fishbowl decisions.

Just to satisfy your desire for number crunching....

A fed has three teams, they need to place one in each of the west, east and south.

If they place the teams as they should, team 1 will come 6th in the west, team 2 will come 11th in the east, and team 3 will come 12th in the south.

Under the current points system the points awarded are: 43 + 26 + 13 = 82
Under a 12-1 system, the points awarded are: 7+2+1 = 10

If they 'play' the system, team 1 is placed in the south and comes 1st, team 2 stays in the east and comes 11th, and team 3 moves to the north and comes 12th

Under the current points system: 24 + 26 + 37 = 87
Under a 12-1 system: 12+2+1=15

Under both systems the difference between the totals is 5 points. Therefore the incentive is exactly the same to place a top team in a lower division.

There!
