NEW POLL 2020 - Player/Attribute Ratings 20-80 or 1-10?

[David - Cleveland]

I have been asked to POLL our ABL GM's on this subject.

When ABL was launched, it launched with player ratings on the 20-80 scale.

Simple POLL. Do you prefer 20-80 or a move to 1-10?

As I mentioned in Slack, we just changed from 1-100 ( for actual and potential at least) here ablootp.proboards.com/thread/274/poll-2018-player-ratings-abl.

I see no reason to change again to 1-10, and that gives way too little variance between players.

We never were 1-100. The ABL has been 20-80 since the beginning. The ONLY 1-100 was the actual player rating/potential instead of Stars.

Well... nevermind on that reasoning then. I could have sworn it was for the ratings as well. In that case I still personally like the 20-80.

On the record, i prefer 1-10. That isn't the same thing as saying 1-10 is BETTER than 20-80. That is not my reasoning. I just PREFER 1-10 and I am comfortable in viewing my talent through that prism.

There is enough fog of war in 1-10 that isn't 'easy' and the look and feel of it is easy on these old eyes.

I understand the opposite side of the discussion if someone prefers the 20-80. I will move forward which ever rating scale we use moving forward.

@derek, see the can of worms you opened by starting the league as 20-80? lol

I really prefer 20-80. It mimics real life and now that I deal with statistics in my daily job, it actually makes more sense to me (Google t-scores).

Also, people sometimes don't realize that there is no true mid point 1-10! That would drive me crazy!

i also prefer 20-80. Its baseball. 20-80 scouting scale is a baseball thing.

gonna vote 1-10

[David - Cleveland]

Seems quite clear at this time that 20-80 is the choice.
Thanks for the votes and input.
