Re: Pool Noodles -- How Important?
I think many people in this thread are having trouble realizing the implications of the fact that W/L doesn't matter, only your average score does.
If you throw 10 noodles over every match, you have a (slim) chance to increase your average by 40 points. To be realistic, lets say you average half that over you 10 matches, so 20 points up. Even if you average only 1 over the step per match, thats 4 points increase to your QA.
If one match, you throw all 10 over and your opponents get all 10 in the landfill, the max their average score could be effected is ~1 point (10 points, 10 matches). If the match scheduling system is working correctly, you shouldn't play against the same team twice, so you can't effect their alliance average by a significant amount.
So your average goes up 20 points (or even just 4), your opponents that match maybe 1. Still in your favor.
