Votes in here by Friday 15th please people.

It struck me last year when the top of the POTS table was very tight that we had no way of separating players who finish on the same number of points and could theoretically end up with two players of the season. So from this season I was thinking of counting the number of podium finishes a player gets as well and using that as our equivalent of goal difference in the POTS table. The logic behind this being that a player who gets 9 points from finishing first on three occasions has probably contributed less to our season overall than a player who has been voted the third best player on the pitch for 9 games (especially seeing as the difference between finishing 1st and 3rd can often be a couple of votes for a Tuesday night away game).

If anybody has any objections to this or any better suggestions then fire away...

Can I suggest that if two players share the same number of votes in for match, that there is not a second place and the player with the next most votes comes third.  Or, if there are three or more players sharing the top number of votes, there is no second or third.  And likewise if there is a joint second place, there is no third place points.

So that a maximum of three players get points basically? I was thinking of suggesting that last season but didn't want to change it around from the format Tyler used to have in case it was some age-old tradition. Tongue That's something else we can change for this season so long as no-one objects to it.

100% agree. Otherwise 3 players could get 3 points for best player and the 4th best player still gets 2 points, doesnt see fair.

How it should work is 1st 3pts, 2nd 2pts, 3rd 1pt.

If two players tie for 1st they get 2.5pts each (ie 1st and 2nd divided by 2) then the third place player gets 1point. Basically only 6 points should be given out in each match otherwise is skews the results.

That's another step further, which I don't disagree with, but wouldn't want to overcomplicate things.  Is Nut any good at mathematics?  I'm sure some kind soul will point out if he goes wrong.

Sorry Saint, other than the first half of the first sentence, which did have the wrong word in (don't know what went wrong there, but will blame the biere d'Alsace), which bit were you unsure about?

There could be more than one 2nd place player though? If you're willing to do the maths then fair enough. Wink

Could get very decimal if one winner, one second place and up to 12 third placed players?

This is a more controversial thread than the development one. I hope it can be sorted before the end of the first match or it could harm the team.
