Initially, the trend wasn't to dissalow clones, but to simply make the scores reachable on games with clones more comparable to games with out clones. When this was mentioned, other ideas prospered, injecting that we should only keep the origonal game and/or combine all the clones of one game into a separate game, excluding possibly bootleg or some how "lacking" clones.(posted 9672 days ago)I don't think i'd mind keeping the clones in as they were, since there are problems any route you take to adjust scores. I'd definitley like that group all clones togehter as the same game strategy taken out. I will still defend the tabular scoring method for clones would be a fairer prospect with out excluding any clones.
(btw, sosa did had a slight advantage, but it's not like it doubled the number of homeruns he hit compared to mac :)
