Scoring systems and what they mean

#1 Post by [email protected] » Thu Apr 18, 2024 5:29 pm

Hi all! Can someone explain to me the difference between Sum of Squares scoring and Points per supply center scoring? They almost sound like the exact same thing

Site FAQ addresses that: https://webdiplomacy.net/faq.php

PPSC has been abandoned on this site. It was a straight arithmetical progression: if you end the game with 1/4 of the SC's, you get 1/4 of the points.

SOS is explained in the FAQ, but basically its a geometric progression, so better rewards those with more SC's. You saw in our last game together how many more points Italy and Austria got with 11 and 12 SC's than I did as England with 7.
