There must be a bug was only a provocation..


And that's a terrible way to get your bug report looked at.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I thought it was a good way to discuss about it, and it is what we have done, without your help.

WOW! arguably the greatest BB-robbing ever :O

The instrument that is 100% indicative of team strength is points per 100 shots.


and it's funny how they were calculated this time, considering all the circumstances (TIE vs CT, HCA, similar ratings)

Team ratings might give you an idea about how strong a team is, but they are not foolproof. Likewise, CT with very low enthusiasm is not much better than a Normal.


very low enthusiasm is already reflected in the ratings (for what they are worth, i think they're often misleading)

CT with similar ratings should ALMOST never end in a 15 points home loss
well, "almost" is the key word here

i hope this kind of upset won't ever happen to my team

Why won't someone just tell him the truth?

He got screwed and 9 out of 10 times he wins that game.

That's probably true.

But it's also not a bug.

This is correct: PP100 are calculated ex-post based on the shots that are actually taken at this position. You assumption was correct, at least as far as I understand the situation.

Indeed, it will be more precise to say that of everything you can find in the box score, they are the best explanatory factor of the final score.

I mean, obviously the actual determinant of the score is chance, since no matter what the probability of scoring is, whether the shot is actually scored or not depends on how the die rolls. Of course, since we have a sufficient number of repetitions in BB (60-100 shots a game), the final result tends to be much more logical than in HT, for example, where you have 10 or 15 repetitions per match.
