Points system

[Celtic501]

Is there a points system that works the same as 3 pts for a win, 1pt for a draw, 0 for a Loss?

I am thinking of creating a 16 team league but want teams to potentially get over 100 points.

You mean like this tab in the editor?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I am familiar with the setting. I guess what I mean is does another point system work as well as the current one? I'm struggling to find a better alternative.

If you just want larger numbers you could multiply it or something. Do 10x, so 30 for a win, 10 for a draw and 0 for a loss. It's basically the same, just with an extra 0 on the end.

Could do I suppose, is 3, 1, 0 the best system? I've been thinking of others like 4,1,0 or 4,2, 0 but it seems the consequence for not winning become too big over the course of a season.

Also can you have half points? Like 1.5 for example.

You could have 8 points for a win, 4 for a draw and 2 for a defeat.

If you’ve only got 16 teams in your league you’d only need to win under half your games to get to 100 points with a few draws and defeats. Even if you lost every game you would get 60 points.

I don’t think you can do half points, they’ve got to be full points.

I personally think 3,1,0 is the best system. But it's purely a subjective matter. But I'm sure there are people out there who think the old 2,1,0 system is the best. 4,2,0 would effectively be the same as that too I guess. 5,2,0 could be an option too, draws would count for more than in 3,1,0 but wins would still be more valuable than in a 2,1,0 or 4,2,0.

I'm one of the old people that prefer 2,1,0 system. There is no benefit in an extra point for a win.

but for the the main questions I would go for a 4,2,1 system. You basically get a point for playing a game.

Thanks for the feedback, definitely made me think about that formula. Yeah I'm not really into half points but just entered my mind.

Thanks for the reply. Your idea of 5, 2, 0 has made me think.

That's interesting, what do you prefer about the old 2,1,0 system out of curiosity?

I don’t think it makes a big difference, maybe that a team  thats up 1 is defending more towards the end of the game, because they are afraid of two points.
