Sorry, but with the point system drawn up the way it is, this tourney will not work. In Round 6, the winning team is still losing fewer troops than the losing team is, but in Round 7, you're actually PUNISHING the team that wins, by causing them to lose armies. Which completely removes the incentive to win the game. In fact, you're better off losing the game in 12 rounds than you are winning in 5.
The "troop losses" will have to be re-worked, to eliminate the advantage given to the loser.

Responding to Serbia has made me realise that it is actually an 11 round limit on games. I think the scoring system is ok and have added in an extra table to make the troops lost by both teams clearer.
Waiting to hear back from Serbia to see if I have answered his concerns.

My answer to nebsmith (from pm conversation)
Serbia wrote:I think the updated score looks fine now. This way, you still get a benefit for winning the game. I wouldn't even mind if the scoring was closer in later rounds, I just don't think it was right to give the advantage to the team that loses.
Short story - looks good to me, thanks!

Hey I don't think you're doing your math quite right here, we won in Round 6, so shouldn't we have only lost 1200 troops? You have us listed as having lost 2000 troops.

Sorry about that - I did have you down as losing 1200 but typed a 0 instead of an 8. I will be more careful in future.
