The regular way of gaining and losing points is that the winner of a game receives 1 set of points (Loser's score/Winner's score*20), but I think there there should be an extra feature to this: Best of 3/5/7. This would mean:
Concise description:
- You could play a best of 3 against someone. The player who wins 2 or 3 wins 1 set of points, instead of 3 sets being distributed.
- Best of 3/5/7 is already widely used in Tournaments, and this would make that easier.
- Best of 3/5/7 could be used in clanbattles as well. Just like above, the luck factor being reduced is the goal in these battles: you want to know who is the best.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- In tournaments there are often best of 3's, best of 5's, or even best of 7's. this is a great way of making sure that the best player/team is advancing to the next round. However, for people with a high score who don't want to lose points, this can be frustrating, because even if they win 5 out of 7, they lose points. I myself for instance can't play Tournaments if I want to stay in the top 10, and I know I am not the only one who cares about points.
- The luck factor is the only factor that has the power to decide who wins besides strategy. With this suggestion, I hope we can reduce this factor, making skill more important in individual and teamgames.
- This will allow for clanbattle results to be showing the skill balance. Due to the many games involved in clanbattles, the winner is usually the best team, but the results don't seem too convincing (most results are like 19-21, 14-16 etc.)
- People will be less afraid of playing games against people with a lower score. This will give every cook the chance of playing against and learning from the real high players. Hell, I'll even play 1v1 Doodle Earth against a cook if it's best of 7
