When I suggested this, I did not fully understand the rules yet. I thought points were accumulated from each stage. Now that I understand, this suggestion will not work. However, I still think that the luck factor (that a player withdraws or maybe even retires) should be mitigated. When such unfortunate incidents happen especially in the early stages, it is cruel to the poster. A whole lot of points can be lost. (Take for example the PAW game. If a player withdraws, the pick is invalid and the PAWer can have new picks instead.) There are various treatments you can use. One way is to still allow the poster to progress, but with points reduced from the final points. Using the following as reference, Q1... = ..8pts Q2... = .20pts R1... = .45pts R2... = .70pts QF... = 105pts SF... = 140pts FINAL = 185pts WON.. = 300pts Say a player withdraws (or retires) from R1. Based on current rules, the unlucky poster will only get 45 points from the potential 300 points he could get. To mitigate the situation, allow the poster to progress, but impose a deduction to points. This can be done in one of several different ways. eg. 1. For every such unlucky instances, shift the points downwards. R2... = .70pts --> 45pts QF... = 105pts --> 70 SF... = 140pts --> 105 FINAL = 185pts --> 140 WON.. = 300pts --> 185 If the poster was unlucky in R1, but still loses in R2, he gets R1 points all the same. And the poster can never get 300pts. Meaning, the poster did not progress from this round (did not take a step upward), but still has a chance for future progression. 2. Take away points earned for that round. If poster was unlucky in R2, take away (R2 - R1) points, ie. 70 - 45 = 25 pts from the final pts. QF... = 105pts - 25 SF... = 140pts - 25 FINAL = 185pts - 25 WON.. = 300pts - 25 Meaning, even though he did not deserve to lose in that round (he still advances), but he did not deserve the points earned for that round either. 3. Take away a constant amount of points, say 10 or 20 points. May not be the best way, but simplest in execution. These are merely my suggestions for the future. Whether you plan to use them or not is entirely up to you, because it is your game.
with the lost of wee kiong/hee chun ... it's the end of the road for me in this game ... goodluck to the remaining players ....
