I agree, the rules are horrible. But this part is pretty clear even though the examples suck.
"your cumulative score only counts for the Round(s) you've already won"

Right and based on the example given, all the cpu's goals count, otherwise why be so specific?
So the example is not part of the rules? I should disregard it? Because it's basically tellin me if the computer scores goals in the round i've lost then they still count.
c.f. "If you won Round 1, 5-2 and Round 2 5-3 and lost the 3rd Round 0-1, your cumulative Biggest Blowout would be 4."
So when the entire rule set is contradictory, which point captures the essence of the original intention?
Am doing a quick search (got real life things I should be doing so it has to be quick!!!) for other instances of "Special Blowout" rules, and all that I've found so far relate to single "for vs against" counts... I've found none so far that need to reckon multiple games.
So no other examples to go by just yet... still looking.
FYI, the link for Kirk's better performance for this track... https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/194150
... but most of the discussion about the problematic rule set is happening in this thread.
Ahh, Dick has found an example, posted in the other thread.
I still think ignoring the last round is the wrong way to calculate your score.
I'm abstaining for now.
But what is your opinion? Is the example given in the special rules merely an error? Or does it entail an extra stipulation where goals scored by the cpu in the round that i've lost are still calculated towards goal difference?Quote:

Now this is how I read the rules. You only count the rounds that he won and use the blow out rules for only those rounds. So that last round he lost 0-2 doesn't really mean anything...which makes no god damn sense but that is how I read the rules. So I have his goal total, according to the rules by using only the games he won, as 11.
I am voting no. The rules suck, but they are what they are and that's what I'm going by. 11 goals scored, he submitted 9, it's a no vote.
Please note that i am cancelling this submission because of the confusion with the rules...Please vote on this submission instead https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthr...Kirk-Rampersad . Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience...
