I was afraid of that.
I was pretty sure that it was going to be easier to get N standard deviations above the average than below the average (I was thinking more about the scores being clipped at the zero point rather than the non-normal distribution caused by the doubling/tripling -- but it is the same problem)
Ah well.
Perhaps we live with it and just say that it is a step in the direction toward rewarding defense or we keep looking.
How about a system where winning is worth a bonus of 2X the average score?
