Hmmmm --
2 points or 3 points per point is used in some of the tournaments in
the States, that I know...
BUT! How about - (for entertainment reasons)
1 - Trading players to the value of your handicapping.... e.g Shotgun
v Druids ----
Roger Thomson has a player value of 8 (say). Druids have a team
handicap of Chris Hughes, no sorry - 13 (say). Therefore, Druids can
choose to have Roger left out of a point along with someone else who
makes up to 13.
Rules would have to apply as to how many consecutive points a single
player could be left out of the match (otherwise it wouldn't be fair
at all), but it means that closely ranked teams would play the full
team, and disparate teams would play a lesser version of the Higher
Ranked Team
2 - Higher ranked teams have to play 3/4 Lefties and Righties.
3 - HRT have to walk, or play 3 legged Ultimate
4 - HRT has to be drunk or stoned to play (ooh, hang on that already
happens in a fair few games....)
5 - HRT has shoelaces tied together.....
Cads (in a funny mood at the moment)
