Callum Todd I don't know much about Octolock numbers so not sure how likely this, but say I get 3 totally impossible rounds, whereas Bradley gets 5. Then I could potentially score 17 maxes, whereas Bradley is capped at 15. Isn't that unfair?

M S R It's not perfect, I grant you, but flip that scenario on it's head, then those totally impossible rounds are where Bradley gets an extra 125 points from near-enough automatically if the blank maxes counted. Due to the nature of the beast and high max multiplier, ruling them out seemed fairer :)

(I'd have used stepdown if the tourney system would've allowed it. The spread-sheeting would be a damn sight easier as well :D)

Callum Todd fair point. I guess there's no way around it really. Maybe if you do a percentage of maxes out of possible rounds? So 6 maxes out of 12 possible rounds scores same as 7 our of 14?

Dave Robjohns Could something like percentages be factored in? I know there's a max game bonus, but in my game there were only 7 rounds where you could get points, so if I'd got 6/7, being worse off than someone getting 7/20 in a high max game might be a bit harsh! Appreciate it's hard to find a solution as Prune getting 13 maxes for my game would be harsh the other way!

Dave Robjohns eyyy great minds eh

Fiona T Percentage sounds fair
