• Much thought went into finetuning these ML score formulae in the past to make them fair across disciplines.
• They are already being used and accepted.

@Konsti

And yes, these 20s as a pre-defined calculation point might be randomly chosen, but if you look at how the scale behaves at the transition from score to time, this is, as @SimonReinhard has already stated out, a finetuned, established and accepted way of converting results in points, especially throughout the borders of all the six disciplines.

@SimonReinhard

If we assume that the ML score system is well-tested and accepted, then we can also simply leave the scores (as given in Konsti’s graphs) as they are and add them up.

A couple of weeks ago, @SimonReinhard wrote in another thread that it’s hard to compare results between disciplines, and that the ML rating (which includes the score component) is not “apt for that”. @Konsti also made his own adjustments to the score formula. But now they are suddenly “fine-tuned” and “accepted”?

I don’t think the ML score component is bad, but I’m not convinced that it is necessarily the best and most fair option to go ahead with. So far I prefer the “Time/Score Equivalent” option more, as I also think it is easier to make sense of it, compared to the score component formula, which is really just a bunch of random, artificial (fine-tuned) numbers.
