Basically I think one should get some base points for a W or D (more for W of course) and that the tiebreaker awards relatively fewer points. The win should be the main point determiner while the tiebreaker is, well, a tiebreaker (gives a few extra points). My suggestion above is still the same even with the tiebreaker being turns instead of health, just modify the bonus points from the tiebreaker.

On a side note, I do like the change to turns over base health =)

A Win is still always better than a Draw. A win gives you 3 total PTS while a draw only gives you 1 PTS. Even if you get a higher +/- from the draw, this is secondary to total PTS (and this is the World Cup format).


Example, assume we are thinking soccer since scoring is trivial to think about there. If we set a match to two games it is still better to win both games 1-0 than to win one game 5-0 and lose one game 1-0.

In the first case you get 3 total PTS with a +/- of +2.
In the second case you only get 1 total PTS with a +/- of +4.

Yes, your Goals For are higher because you scored more points, but that is secondary to the 2 additional PTS you get. So a Win is still always better than a Draw.
