        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>I am trying to work out a better/fairer method of establisihing team results.</p>
<p>Scenario:<br />
 4 players on each of teams Home &#38; Away<br />
each player has 2 singles games and 1 doubles game<br />
player 1 (Home) vs player 1 (Away)<br />
player 2 (Home) vs player 2 (Away)<br />
player 1 (Home) vs player 2 (Away)<br />
player 2 (Home) vs player 1 (Away)<br />
player 1 &#38; 2 (Home) vs player 1 &#38; 2 (Away)<br />
.<br />
.<br />
same format for players 3 &#38; 4</p>
<p>Results for games can only be win or loss as winner is first player or pair to reach a certain number of points. A win in singles is worth 1 point, doubles 2 points. Games have a time limit but if drawn at the point play is extended until there is a result.</p>
<p>A team win is determined by adding the games win points.<br />
If there is a draw in game points I favor using the totals of difference in games scores. I believe this is the fairest method as some games are real battles and scoring is hard or players are slow.<br />
(ie.) if a game score was 9 - 5 the diff would be +4 to the winning team.</p>
<p>So at the end of a days play a result might look like:</p>
<p><input type="button" class="sfcodeselect" name="sfselectit8570" value="Select Code" onclick="spjSelectCode('sfcode8570');" /></p>
<div class="sfcode" id="sfcode8570">Home 6 game points and +7 score diff   WINNER<br />
    Away 6 game points and -7 score diff   LOOSER</div>
<p>I'd love to hear of variations other conferences use.</p>
