I get where you’re coming from Mark, but actually I’m not sure this will reduce load in a meaningful way.

At the moment teams have to track (1) which point number of the game we’re on, and then (2) compute what that means for numbers of FMP/MMP. If the FMP/MMP starting value is fixed, teams will still have to do (1), and then (2), all this will do is make the computation of (2) ever-so-slightly simpler.

As a team lead, we can’t trust that the volunteer’s scoreboard is up-to-date at the moment we happen to look at it (e.g. immediately after a point has been scored) so we have to track the scores ourselves. Once we’re already doing that, does it really make much difference compared with writing this on your clipboard…

1 [2] [3] 4 5 [6] 7 8 [9]

to keep track of points played?

Further, as we increasingly move to a world where coaches use apps to track in-game data, this kind of thing shifts to near-zero effort.
