BFIA even teams?
691 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 2nd at 12:13 PM jpl77 Hey Nick, Can you explain how the event works? I don't follow how the teams were selected and how the completion of the quests by individual players affect the team school. It seems like the mechanism is unbalanced with the current match scores.

All 3 teams have approximately the same number of players. 2. The Soccer Ball spawn odds for each match quest is the same for all players regardless of team. 3. Each player can add a maximum of 40 points for their team each match. One per ball. 40 balls per match. 4. Some players may not be able to kick all 40 of their balls every match, depending on how much time and energy they dedicate to playing Bush Whacker 2. Because not all players are expected to complete all 40 balls per match, each team's score will not be the same despite having a similar number of players. This is the reason why the scores are not the same. Should we run the tournament again in a future year, we can consider adding a catch-up mechanic, somehow, that could keep the games tighter.

Nick, a game mechanic would be more fair.... not sure how the game picked players in the first place to place in any division. Was it first come first serve? Was there some mechanic based on player level that decided where to place them? You already have a lot of work to do, but it seems like BIFA needs leagues and divisions.

In the case of all teams having the same number of players, it would pick the team with the worse individual player rankings. Leagues and divisions would be an improvement, certainly. I've noted this down to consider should I decide to run this again.
