I just thought about something.. could the following be added to the distance formula: +(#of handicaps)/50
While 5TS feels 'about right' most of the times, often this initial roll can hand a significant advantage to one of the teams. Reducing the score by 20 per handicap would give genuine matches precedence over handicap-balanced. |

I fully support the idea of adding handicaps to the distance formula.
I hate playing games with -10-15TS but +2 handicaps (or vice versa) as it seems to happen often in the scheduler (especially against teams that typically have a large TR/TS difference like Ogre).
The variety in usefulness of the handicaps is just too big to put a 5TS tag next to it to make it fair. |

Is the scheduling formula public knowledge?
I'm not suggesting that it should be if it's not. Just curious as to whether or not I missed it.
Thanks. |

some are more useful than 5, the majority are less, imho. |

Just throwing this out there. In the IRC I agree that every team needs to play their kryptonite. My argument was that 9 tackles nulify dodge, therefore making the calculation of Amazon blodge too high since they get calculated with a 1.5 X multiplier. Like I said no need for an argument, just throwing it out there if it helps Christer any. |

die zons die. games vs dorfs makes up for all the games zons play vs non tackle teams at low TS that they win easily due to their starting blodgers. |

Yes. Christer explains it in this thread. |

Another tweaking suggestion:
Make the cutoff for weighted TS. At the moment zons can play against dwarves 15TS up while dwarves can play vs zons with a 15TS advantage tops, too. Using the TS difference weighted by the racial table as a cutoff, zons for example could play against dwarves with a maximum TS disadvantage of 5TS, while dwarves could give up up to 25TS to zons in order to have the same disadvantage. |

Where do you come up with the racial table making it a 5ts and 25ts difference?

Those values were just to illustrate what I meant. The actual values differ not only from racial matchup to racial matchup, but also from TS bracket to TS bracket. |
