My eyes are getting bad and I find Ihor's site difficult to post on.
I had suggested the carrot, which I think most find acceptable for 'Individual' competitions, now I suggest the stick for team matches.
Only wins to be counted for the match result. Thus six draws( or 8 etc) counts 0-0,one point each team. Three wins, 3 losses counts 3-3, one point each team, but when the season ends game points FOR are now more important.
Secondly match cards to show more information. Instead of draws being 1/2-1/2 we indicate by one of three letters, C for claimed, that is repetition, stalemate etc, R is for requested(offered-there is a problem with O), Y is for yes.
When results are forwarded to chessnuts C,R&Y are shown as draws, but for the individual leagues we now have not damn lies, but statistics to help decide what is needed to deter draws.
