Illuminated, you are not the first one to complain about the rules and scoring. I have received more than one PM about them since I was handed control of the comp.

I didn't write the rules I simply took over were Memphis and Fenster left off. In fact, I'm not sure if they wrote the rules or someone else did.

When I was given the gift of overseeing the comp I loved so much I was very happy. I'm sure any of you would be. I had always done well under the scoring and rules so I saw no need to change them.

I was wrong to assume that everyone would read the rules before they started to play.

I think the 7 6 2 rule is perfect. It's a gamble. If you are greedy and want that extra point for a UD then you deserve to get a 2 when it turns out to be a SD.

The scoring that I think is a bit off is 10 points for a SD. I think it should be 15 just like a correct round KO.

I read the rules when I invited to partcipate in the comp and I played around them. I've never been a big protester really. I just go with the flow.

If Saddo wants to help change the rules next go round that is fine by me, but I don't want the soul responibilty of trying to please everyone.

I also don't want to fix it until it is broke. At some point you have to say these are the rules and just play the game.
To be honest for me what it comes down to is I'm a sore loser. If something doesn't go my way I'll whine a little bit to show how hard done by I am and then I'll feel better.

If I don't win the competition at least I can content myself that but for a few stupid rules I could have done.

If you on the other hand agree to my rule changes then next season I'd have to blame my losses on other posters being able to predict the future or bribing opponents to take a fall. As I live in my own fantasy world I could certainly accept those beliefs but I'm not sure I could convince you guys hence I'll vote to keep things the way they are!
