ExScore test of Elflympics

One of the fun things about ExScore is the ability to quickly simulate the results of tournaments, and I have put this to the test for Trumpkin’s Elflympics, a tournament that rewards TDs a lot.  The scoring system is 14/6/1, with 2 bonus points per TD, as well as bonuses for interceptions and long bombs.  By randomly generating results over 4 rounds for 20 coaches, I ran the tournament 5 times (which took about 2 minutes).

elflympicsThe upshot is the WDL primacy is largely upheld, with some interesting interaction between Draws and Losses, in that in one simulation a 1/3/0 record equals a 3/0/1 record (not to win the tournament, mind).  There are no tiebreakers used.  Any 4/0/0 record wins the tournament.

Edit!  I had a couple of dodgy settings – 1 bonus point per cas, and max of 3 TD bonuses.  Changing these puts the cat among the pigeons!
