Are teams with 0 or 1 rerolls still getting a bonus?


The bonus could be checked out at the Sneaky-Coach-Who-Always-Have-To-Destroy-A-Good-Idea-By-Powergaming-It-Stand. Its to the left of the Multiple Account Stand.

The teams are still getting a bonus unless Christer also announces that the TS system is being modified. Notice that the coaches who "Have-To-Destroy-A-Good-Idea-By-Powergaming-It" are actually working towards improving it...

Just to clarify:
There is still the hard cap of 15TS after handicaps.


I'm guessing this will be less relevant but its a good question.


It`s not a question. I asked Christer and he confirmed, that the hard cap is still in place.

What parts besides the BR (and BBR?) changed? Can't really comment without knowing if the others listed are slight changes.

9. If there are any handicaps in the game, multiply suitability by (1-numHandicaps * 0.03)
***If this is a change I like it.
8. If either team played the other in their last game, multiply suitability by 0.94
***I know this was in there some how. Was it higher before? If so I like the change to lessen the chance even more.
10. For each team that is NOT the preferred team for the respective coach, multiply suitability by 0.95
***I know this was in there. Is this a change to have a stronger preferrence?


Wonder if you can run this on all previous match ups if you logged them all. Curious if some would be way out of whack.

Those are the exact formula changes I was going to suggest....

Since BR is no longer included, can we see it soon, or is this just a test and you could bring it back to the calculation?

This sounds most positively excellent to me : )

I've expressed some fairly long winded opinions on what would be better to use for the TS part instead of TS (i.e. something closer to LRB5 TV), but of the options that are actually implemented TS is probably the best so I'm pretty happy anyway.

Thanks Christer

The redux for handis is a very good move Smile

I have no idea for the Ranking change, as I never knew what ranking anyone had anyway.

Wow. That is simply awesome. Just when I thought I was back in ranked.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'll make a pro elf team for the box in honour of this moment!

Has a factor regarding buddyship been discussed? By now I only play black box but I would still like to have the eventual math against my buddies. Yeah, I know "play ranked"... But was just thinking of a slight modification for being buddies..

Looking good. Also like the change where games w/ handicaps are less favourable!

As soon as I am able to get the Fighting Hellfish back in shape (/me raises fist at Emphasy), I'll be back to DivB to give it a second try.
