Score Issues
#29
If you and Undead are happy that it's a draw, it's a draw. The only possible extra score you could get in that mode would be for a combo (+5). Therefore, all other things being equal (which they clearly were), you, Xenon, were the slightly better player because you managed two combos, where Undead only managed one.
24 frags @ 10 pts = 240
24 deaths @ -4 pts = -96
total = 144
combos are worth 5 pts each.
It's quite possible for the result to be a draw, and you simply use the score as an indicator of who put in the better performance. I guess the argument is that having the score a) visible and b) ranking the players/teams at the end is enforcing the idea that this is somehow the official way to decide the result.
Since the poll seems to be heading away from removal of the frags/deaths/score, but with the majority going with some kind of change, how about having the score presented less significantly (smaller font or slightly greyed out - I don't know if these are possible) and not using it to rank?
