Use Fib and since B is 10 points less than A, A should get 100 points and B only 62? Does that really correlate .... If they are only 10 points apart in raw figure they should be 38 points apart with points for that factor? Or what if there is only a 2 point difference in their speed number. Is it fair to give A 100 points and B just 62? I don't think so, or at least it doesn't make sense to me anyway.

And besides in an earlier post you suggested getting rid of all scaling.
Handi...

A lot of thoughts were going thru my head on this "scaling" .
I really didnt know if it would change things because I never tried it.
Well, I just did....
I am positive that factors DO NEED to be scaled.

In pix #1....no scaling
pix #2......scaling

noticeable difference in jk
