As I said, you MUST do a study, not just dream stuff up, get two votes and say you want it that way. AFAIK SP SCORE has worked fine for almost 10 years with no complaints except by a very minority few. It was voted in years ago by a large (LARGE) number of players, not a few.
There is a certain chain of events that have to occur before anything can be done, and so far none of them have been achieved.
Dear Weasel, I imagine you are missing nothing, however I suspect that the lack of response is due to utter apathy of current players either to read stuff let alone respond. As you also know, just because "we have always done it this way" doesn't mean it is right or good or the best way. With your permission I would like to conduct a more active approach to current or played within 1 year Blitzers to canvass opinion and see if there is any real support for a poll on this. I have a feeling that some players who are on the wrong side of .5 lose interest in our ladder because they make an equal amount of effort as those they play but their reward, or lack thereof, is disproportionately dismal; almost certainly true of those who join for 2-3 games, get soundly beaten in all, then disappear - though I have no stats to back this up, just a feeling in the water. Anyway...
Please may I email players individually to provoke a response? THIS is my study.
Many Thanks
