> In case anyone didn't get it, it's "baloney" that Tim moves when he didn't really win the group, "effectively" awarding him 2 points for failing to play a game. I understand the idea of effective points but I don't think they should apply in situations like this.<br>
<br>
Hmmm... in what situation do you think they should apply, if not that situation? For the games he played, Tim averaged 3 points per game, while you averaged 2.5 points per game... why would it be more fair to leave him in a lower (nominally easier) group next week when he performed that strongly?<br>
<br>
Ah, the effective points debate... a season without it is like a day without sunshine... :D <br>
