The second seeded player in each group plays on 2 small maps and 1 big map while the other 3 players play on 2 big maps and 1 small map. This means that depending on how accurate your PF/PA thresholds are for small maps compared to big maps either the second seeded player is at an advantage or disadvantage (i.e. is it easier or harder to earn more points on smaller or bigger maps given your point system?). I know this is a long way off but we should consider how to address this issue in future tournaments.

By the way, I like your point system. I didn't realize you planned to have point differential be independent of the base W/D/L points and only be used as a tie breaker. This is much better than what I thought you had in mind =)

Haha, to be complete I would have had to have a different scale for every single map, not just "big" vs "small". I'm not going to change the rules now obviously but even between the small and large maps the 'average # of turns' for a win is not the same.

The numbers I chose were definitely quite arbitrary, and I don't have too much justification for why I chose them. But for instance I'm pretty sure games on Sweetie Plains are a lot longer in general than Long Nine, even though they are both "big" maps.

So who does this give the advantage to? I have no idea... maybe something to think about for future tournaments.
