I'm not complaining and not wanting anything to change for this tournament, but wonder if for future tournaments 2 pts per game win and 1 pt per match win with no match pt for ties would seem better?
What people are commenting on is the unintuitiveness of displaying the player statistics visibly as match results, but with the underlying game results being a large component in standing. Your proposal would lead to the strict match results being even more misleading, and in this specific case would make no difference, CitizenFry would still be ahead by one prestige point:
CitizenFry:
15 + 2 + 2 = 19
Hollis:
15 + 3 + 0 = 18
I think FileAccess has the right way of looking at it. Not all wins are equal and not all losses are equal, so you have to think in those terms.
Anyhow, it's how the official tournament rules are, so there's not a whole lot of point debating it. For what it's worth though I think it works quite well to give weight both to winning matches and to overall performance in winning individual games.
