Why when assessing matchups do we not check if the match would be better without handicaps, and if it is better without handicaps just disable handicaps for that match?


Cause thems ain't the rules.


Yes they are. Handicaps are in the "extra rules" section of the LRB, and it is specifically stated in the LRB that any or all of the extra rules can be ignored as we please. Therefore disabling handicaps when they are a bad idea is 100% LRB compliant.

If you limit it to 15 TS before handicaps then a TEAM A 100 TR/115 TS and TEAM B with 111 TR/100 TS play and TEAM A gets a handicap and is effectively 20 TS higher than TEAM B.


Which is why you check before AND after.

To clarify I mean that handicaps are needed to ensure as many matchups as possible.


this is wrong.

180/120 wouldn't play a 120/120 team with handicaps enabled. But would without.

Obviously... In that rare occurance I don't think anyone would miss that match.

Wait yes it would...

The effective TS would be 15 TS apart, which is the limit.

Not rankings. Difficulty rating is related to the championship. Though we can't see individual games. BTW I am number 5 on the list this month:)

If you only apply handicaps when they make the matchup more fair, then you get as many matchups as possible, and better ones as well. It's easy!
