My thoughts on the H2H and CS.

[Herr Straße Laufer]

I was a huge proponent of larger incentives.
There are a lot of hoops to jump through to stick with a scenario through the H2H process. I was shot down when asking for more points by the thought, "we are here to promote the game and not gain individual ladder position through large points or game reports (of playtested games)." For me, I would have given points and medals to all scenario designers and playtesters. It is a real pain in the butt to guide a scenario to fruition.

The club was always about just "playing the games".
In the end, game ratings when the game is reported, gives as much data over the course of time than a few (or a couple) of players who ferry a game through H2H.

I'm honestly not saying do not use the system if members want to. I'm saying that if member/designers do not want to use it they have other options opened to them to get their designs played.

An approval rating means less to me than the critical rating of games reported by the many that would play it.
