Hmm. That would be bad, agreed. Therefore we'd need another change: Either demote a player after not having played for two rounds, which would punish casual players like myself. Or - as it was suggested before - do not publish scores until the end of the game. Maybe publish the best score for the divison. That way, you cannot tell whether you'll be demoted or not. | > After the tournament, the best players of the lower league get promoted.

I knida like it. | | I've calculated the standings after the first three competitions. After | the Santa competition, everyone was divided into divisions. So after the | next two competitions, we can look at the winners in the divisions. | | The First Division has been won by Ian Phillips and Jerome Quelin, and | the Second Division has been won by Marcus Holland-Moritz and Tim Gim | Yee. Note that that means that Tim Gim Yee was playing in the First | Division in the TPR(0,0) competition, and therefore wouldn't have won | the Premier League that time round! While it might take some time to get the divisions somewhat stable (eg the best players in the top league), I think they would eventually settle without too much of a frenzy (eg Third Division player submitting a solution that's better than the best solution from the top divison). We could provide a special mechanism for the case that somebody in a low divison submits a better score than anybody in the division above his: He gets promoted to the division his score belonged into. He gets promoted instead of the lowest scoring player of the divison above his division that would have been promotoed otherwise (eg player #3). Of course, nobody would be demoted by more than one divison at once. Even more confused?
