Interesting twist on seeded MoM. But one of the things I always
enjoyed in this contest format was getting a good "burial" in a contest. Jim
This is the thing I hate most about MOM. I never liked the idea of
shafting a fellow competitor. It always seemed to me to be
unethical. The other thing I don't like about seeded MOM is
normalizing the scores. The idea of giving one man 1000 points for a
flight while giving another flier half as many points for flying
twice as long in a different group is morally wrong. I have seen
this happen. In seeded MOM, normalizing isn't needed. That's
already done by making you fly against your peers. Normalizing may
be more beneficial when seeding isn't possible.
