Response to MARP scoring system

Ah - well, you're nearly right, but there's a 15% gap between 1st and 2nd place - so if 1st place scores 100,001 and 2nd place scores 100,000 points, 1st will get 100 points, and 2nd will get 85 points. This continues on down for all places.

The way it works, is that each player gets 85% of the score which the person above them gets, times the ratio of the two scores. The 85% thing was intended to make people more keen to compete - you're guaranteed to gain at least 15 points when you move up from 2nd to 1st in a game.

There's some discussion going on in a different thread at the moment about changing how this all works again, but until any clear consensus is arrived at, I think I'll leave it alone...

Chris.
