The competitors have been playing games since Chris landed in Santo Domingo. The current AHFS probably encourages more game playing say than 10 or so years ago, but that is the system we have. The current has difinitive numbers that can be manipulated easier than a system based on averages; i e eliminator average, combo average, class average or a combinatiion of. Averages make the system a moving target which it should be because both S & SS are dynamic eliminators, not static numbers. Combining averages (half season based on a few years or when the combo was hit last) and static (numbers that don't move) numbers (again the .850 and the rest 1.00, 1.20, 1.25 etc) don't mix well, sorta like Cherios and Buttermilk By the way, Chris was Christopher Columbus for the non-history fans. Too much coffee this morning.
