You could with tweaking use that score to determine a tourney winner (not sure with a simple RTT style that you want each part being 1/3rd of the total).breng77https://www.blogger.com/profile/14856443949878311347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-26133631353013297802011-03-21T19:58:05.854-07:002011-03-21T19:58:05.854-07:00Well, the funny thing is, NOVA suggests awarding e...Well, the funny thing is, NOVA suggests awarding equivalent prizes to all undefeateds after X rounds for Best General, and warding the solo Best Overall (Even with enough rounds) to 33% rating/possible + 33% appearance/possible + 33% sports/possible. C'est la vie; you still make the generally good point that not all situations easily / readily cater to applying the NOVA's format.Mike Brandt; mvbrandt@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818846784767602047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-57854629330082747842011-03-21T16:46:11.601-07:002011-03-21T16:46:11.601-07:00The other thing to consider with NOVA style events...The other thing to consider with NOVA style events is that they only work really well, when you have enough rounds to produce only one undefeated player. In a 3 round RTT, there are simply not enough rounds to do this if you have say 20 people. That is not to say you cannot run NOVA missions, but you will still likely need battle points to determine the overall winner.breng77https://www.blogger.com/profile/14856443949878311347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-37473844337114159392011-03-21T07:58:17.352-07:002011-03-21T07:58:17.352-07:00Right on point.

Don't attend other style events and spend the whole day bitching about it. <br /><br />Now, if a local TO asks you why you're not attending his event, let him know POLITELY the what and why -- he'll be more likely to listen that way.Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09254648458761984561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-81943601049754739902011-03-21T02:53:29.498-07:002011-03-21T02:53:29.498-07:00Very little good has ever come from complaining or...Very little good has ever come from complaining or telling someone that someone else's stuff is better.<br /><br />I suspect that TO's will be under-represented among the complainers. Once you've worn those shoes and appreciate the effort involved in organising you'll be a lot less inclined to criticise anyone who makes the effort to organise a tournament.<br /><br />Let your feet do the talking. That's all the feedback any TO needs.GDMNWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14003947144311887937noreply@blogger.com
