**New Tournament Ideas**

RE: **New Tournament Ideas**
Does the scenario really have to be "balanced"? Most battles are not balanced, a scenario designer has to place and value objectives to create "balance", and that is hard to do without a LOT of testing.

Play balance could be taken completely out of the picture, if another "method" were used to determine winners. What if in the tournament you played only one side. There would be two winners, one for the Axis and one for the Allied. The determination of the winner would be the points different from each battle. For example if player X had a win 5500 point but a minor victory, while player Y had a 6100 point win, also a minor victory, player Y would be the winner, for his side, all else equal. In other words the points themselves allow a way to determine winners if you played the same side and same scenario each time.

This allows the use of any scenario for the tournament, because play balance no longer matters, what matters is how well you do relative to the players playing the same nationality as yourself.

Just an idea, thinking out of the box and all that jazz.
