Hey Adam, I agree with the idea, but take a look at the following....

... as it's good to know the reality of how the new rule can work against the promotion of close matches.

We learned the hard way, as we were on the alliance that SkitzoSmurf refers too, so we share this with others, so they won't have to.

Don't be fooled into believing that this rule promotes close games, as it actually can do the opposite.

Regards,

PS - A simple change which would promote close games would be to simply give the wimming team their points plus the losing allicances (versus 2x). If you go through the numbers, this significantly reduces a teams benefit towards eliminating their own score.
