Is our 3,2,1 system fair?

[tigerbenji]

Nothing wrong with the system @ the moment & i dont like changing the rules half way through the season, & benji has been a stand out so far this season.

The whole 3-2-1 system is flawed, whether it is for the dally m or the WTF player of the year. You will have some games where nobody can do a thing right, yet one player will get 3 points, just because he is the least terrible. Then you will have other games where everyone plays out of their skin, yet 14 players will get no points at all.

My preferred solution is a rating for each player, eg out of 10\. Work out the average rating for each player from each round (so if more people vote in round 26 than round 6 it won't cause weighting problems), then tally up the round scores to get the final totals. This is fair for the hot and cold players and it is fair for the mr consistents.

The only problem with this approach is that I would really struggle to give meaningful ratings for all 17 players…

Yep, that's the only fair way to do it.

i don't disagree with you as it indeed seems to be the fairest system, but if we implemented a system like that i fear no-one would bother submitting votes, or at least a lot less votes would be submitted.
Less than half of the forum users at the moment bother voting in the 3-2-1

That means he was the best on the field and deserves the 3 points.

Then you will have other games where everyone plays out of their skin, yet 14 players will get no points at all.

That means the top 3 who get the points deserve the points because they played better than the other 14.

I'm still yet to find the value in complicating a process that is already at it's easiest to only get the same out come.

Didn't realise clicking on three circles and hitting the "submit" button was so hard? :unamused:

x3 boys evens out the anomilies from differences of how many vote each week and at least we know how everyone is going .

Not in Round 1 he didn't but somehow he dudded Fifita who was clearly the best player against the Dogs
