Re: Placebo Effect

A Placebo happens when the number of teams competing isn't divisible by 6. They give teams an "extra" match, which doesn't count for them, but counts for the rest of their alliance.

If you have 11 matches, your third match does not count, as it will be the placebo match.


It would be nice if they sorted by average points, it would cut down on the confusion of not only placebos, but also of some teams having played n games, and others playing n+1 games. That would allow for teams to have a more accurate picture of how they're doing.
