Re: Average Winning Score Perspective
Way cool that people (besides me) care about this! Here is the Predict The Average Score threads from the past several years.

Why did you choose the average winning score? Historically there is a pretty significant difference between the distribution of winning scores and the distribution of losing scores (in terms of shape and mean/median) -- but isn't it enough to score the losing alliance's score + 1?
