OK gents.. I really haven't had the time or energy to be pushing this thread as hard as it needed but I think there's 3 main areas we're looking at this year:
Whether to reduce multipliers multipliers and having em unplayable on perceived mismatches.
Whether to lean towards more balanced lower profile fights over perceived mismatches between better known / higher ranked fighters
Changing the points balance to either reward mathod and detail picks more or less
What I'm going to do is to put up a new thread with a multi-choice poll with 3 options on each of these areas:
For the multipliers / mismatch the three options wil be:
Retain current number of multipliers. Multipliers only playable on fighters at -200 or greater
Reduce number of multipliers. Multipliers only playable on -200 or greater
Reduce number of multipliers. Multipliers only playable on +100 or greater (ie only underdogs)
For fight balance:
Retain current (2022) balance
Lean more towards bigger fights / higher rankings only even if mismatches
Lean more towards closer odds fights even if the rankings or awareness of the fighters is lower
For points balance
Retain current scoring (ie 20/10/10 or Winner/method/ detail)
Increase emphasis on correct method and detail, reduce emphasis on winner(eg 10/10/10)
Increase emphasis on correctwinner, reduce emphasis on method and detail (eg 20/5/5 or 20/10/5)
Now this will obviously only make sense if you pick no mopre than one answer in each of the three categories. What I would also encourage is for you to post in a bit more detail about your prefered options or any more specific detail you might think of. What I'm mainly looking is getting a feel for what most players would prefer to see in 2023 so I can run up the 2023 Masterthread in a coupla days.
