TD and mods have thought about it plenty. This is not something within our control. The tiebreakers are coded into the system and there is only one man who can change the system, and he has a lot on his plate. Improving the code in autotourneys is not currently on his radar. Trust me, if I could get his to revise the autotourney engine, I would have much higher priorites than screwing with the tiebreakers.
My priority list runs something like:Adding more sophisticated tiebreakers would either be #5, or it could be seen as a component of #4 and part of the same package. However, my priority list is just as irrelevant as yours. The boss is the boss, and he will not be dictated to. He has his own priority list, and the system is running well enough right now that he feels he can best put his time into something new.
- Change autotourneys to enable them to handle team games
- Allow autotourneys to carry a reserve list and replace deadbeats
- Allow autotourneys to start next round without waiting for all games to end (if it is a non-elimination round)
- Enable more intricate scoring for autotourneys (not wins alone but kills, streak kills, etc.)
If we had a staff of thirty programmers, I could see demanding this change or that change, but we don't. We have one part-time webmaster doing all the coding changes, and the body of code is a lot bigger than you might think. Changes are limited in scope and limited in frequency, and when something is running well enough, we leave well enough alone. It's not the world's greatest set of tiebreakers, but it gets the job done.
I know you're good, but you can't win them all...

Doh ! DJENRE didn't ask to change the result of the tournament you played, read his post again, he asked to change the rule for future tournaments.

rockfist wrote:What difference does it make what the tiebreaker is, if we all know what it is before a tournament starts? As long as the rules aren't changed in the middle it should be fine. I've heard this argument about the CL tiebreaker (goal differential vs head to head) and this seems to be along the same lines.

So if it was going to be replaced eventually, what is the suggestion?
