[...] And if they were both tied for promotion then they'd play off and presumably Team A would win. Job done.

you play different maps against different teams, in such case cap point difference imo cant be viable scoring option

i'm really procrastinating :X

But its not clear cut: Team A with 4 wins 5-0 5-1 6-2 5-0 Team B with 4 wins 5-4 4-3 7-6 5-3 Team A is BETTER than Team B however there is no difference when their matches are given their current point scores.

Wireplays round difference is the best way of handling this IF people really believe it is an issue.

[...] but every team would play every map so it would balance out? Its like saying gully is more sniper friendly than badlands, so we shouldn't play that, according to that logic we should just play one map all season to avoid any slight differences or bias' in the maps.

[...] I know people feel disheartened by losing by a close margin but that is why the system is how it is. It is clear cut no abstraction, Previous point again Wireplays round difference is the best way of handling this IF people really believe it is an issue. Tbh I'd like to see Bones take on it..

[...] It's broken in the sense that it rewards a team winning 5-0 in 10 minutes as much as a close as hell 5-4 won in the very last seconds. In both cases the winning team takes all and the losing team gets nothing, making it seem like both winning teams are equally good and the losing teams are equally bad. Which makes sense, but due to the different nature of maps as pointed out earlier you can't really change the points system to reflect the score difference per map as each map is different.

Also, consider being 3-0 up with 5 minutes to go, right now, "turtle time gentlemen", and.......win, new system, "let's go for the bonus point boys...PUSH!!!"

[...] I could be wrong but I'd like some other peoples views as there doesn't seem to be a solid argument as to why the classic 3 points for a win system is broken.

[...] There is nothing to stop that now as Monkeh said. You would play more conservatively and consolidate a position at 3-0. However with this system there is always the potential the other team may sneak a round back and force you to play. For teams looking to dominate this encourages them to shut out a game asap not get a few points up and sit back.
