      120k sound`s fine if race is going to happen

        Old system would be better also so that people's recs wouldn't be altered by very long or short games. It was only a good idea for ?go base because we have some stupid caps and points races get rid of bs games from being that long.

          Pt race also helps control pt margins in TWLB. You don't want pt margins to get outta hand when u have a blowout game and gain a +200k in 1 single game. This way the game, if it's a race to 120k, will cap off at +120k if the result is a 120k-0k win.

            but then again, in TWL points matter.. meaning if you win just as much as a other team, If I am correct, your points will decide it. With pointrace you always have 120k a game you win. Without pointrace you can go 200k-20k and you will have a great advantange over other teams.

              that argument goes both ways. If we have point race, you can always decide the enemy score of your wins as the deciding factor, or the amount of time it took to win.

                Or just make the next tie break strength of opponent instead of points.

                  Race to 100k and must win by 20k. So if it's 90k to 95k, the 2nd team needs 115k to win.

                    the tiebreaker should be head to head, not point difference.

                    that said, if the top squad plays the bottom squad and kicks their ass, it will happen in either situation.

                    however, with the old system, the shitty squad still gets to play the entire game. i think people will lose interest alot quicker if they are constantly losing in 15 minutes compared to 30. no need to take away from their fun, or their practice time.

                      Firstly, people wont lose interest if they are constantly losing in 15 rather than 30min. Actually, its quite the opposite when being 80k down and not having a chance to come back but still having to play the game to finish it loses interest.

                      Secondly, Practise time? Its supposed to be TWL, if they want to practise do it in TWD instead. And if TWD are changed to point race play more games so they dont lose in 30 mins.

                      That argument isnt really strong at all.

                          thats the dumbest rule in the world stab, unless you install a time limit. 20k is a lot, teams could have an extra 4 hours of overtime because they never get 20k away from each other.

                          you put in a time limit, then it may as well be a timed game.

                            I'd prefer strength of opponent over head to head. If both squads are tied, and their opponents strength is the same, then go head to head. Makes consistency more important than one game results.

                            As for losing interest. I haven't seen anyone dump TWLJ or TWLD (both "point race" leagues) yet.

                              U cant really argue that TWLB is anywhere near the same as TWLJ or TWLD. Its totaly 100% different. U arent defending a base in a "cram" where u can score 10k very rapidly. IN those other 2 leagues u take ur time and kill acordingly. U cant even compare those types of things.

                              I voted no just bc i dont like to many major changes in 1 season. We will eventualy change it so we have 4 spider limit, i jsut dont see 2 major changes needed. I also think ther were no real problems with how it was ran in the past seasonss to even think of changing it so thats another reason. JUst for the record tho, if we changed it i would want it to have hte "bz affect" on it with the whole overtime thing, but that would in return take some tweeking to make it work.

                                I am seriously surprised that so many people are voting against the point race format. I'm sure that with a few tweaks or ideas, a lot more people would like it.
