Mabey if your parent or viewer was a high performance computer, then mabey. I'm sorry, but how can this scoring system be so easy if there are 2 levels of ranking with numerous calculations just to figure out who is at the top? Compare that to last years where it's just your's plus your opponents score (or so I can remember). Not bad at all. Compare this to this year's where you need to know their win-loss record, their current QP average, and other things! Even someone like me who studies the book didn't know and wanted to make sure I was doing it right!
FIRST, just go back to last year's system. It's fast, easy, and simple to use.
*edit*not saying that this year's is bad, but I think last year's was easier to remeber and use*edit*
