What they are doing is comparing the points fielded - so in the example Calderus uses the difference is 100-2 so the handicapped team is eligible for a 98 point differential. However if the 100 point team brought 50 points instead the 2 point team would only be eligible for a 48 point differential, and the 50 point team wouldn't be eligible for ANY since the other team fielded less points. So it is a bit of a case of 'low point chicken' and ONLY the team which brings the lowest number of points is eligible for any handicap point bonus at all.<br /><br />See this example which stimulated a fair bit of forum commentary on the subject as The Fourth District were a little upset that they won with 41 points fielded but didn't get ANY handicap points because Manifest Destiny. only brought 36 points in ships to the match. Fourth walked away with 62.5 points only and didn't qualify for groups. http://at.eve-ic.net/10/index.php?view=match&id=39<br /><br />All of that math is pretty irrelevant though due to the 50 point limit anyways as I pointed out above.

Thus far no two teams have handicapped against each-other. Or in other words I'm likely wrong and Cald is probably right :)<br /><br />in any case, it's a moot point given that Anon(shatterer of my dreams) and Toterra are correct regarding minimum 50 points and tie breakers being wins first points second.Logan Fyreitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020193253139376508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616244196108776097.post-10686444088500408302012-07-18T13:56:47.730-07:002012-07-18T13:56:47.730-07:00You've got the handicapping wrong.

The handicap calculation is actually based on the difference between what each team actually fields. So you would need to bring 2 points and beat a 100 points setup to claim the 247.5 scenario. <br /><br />And, as stated above, a 2 win team will always advance over a 1 win team, regardless of points.Calderus Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001961571356262365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616244196108776097.post-66774342283566207972012-07-18T13:50:26.513-07:002012-07-18T13:50:26.513-07:00Not to mention you have to field a minimum of 50 p...Not to mention you have to field a minimum of 50 points in a match.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616244196108776097.post-51615141113657195722012-07-18T13:04:55.711-07:002012-07-18T13:04:55.711-07:00From the tournament rules...
