Nice to see there a few chess players amongst our utterly massive student population

It seems a bit strange to penalise teams with a 2-2 scoreline with a 3-1-0 scoring system. The usual motivation for such schemes is to discourage draws, but drawn matches with decisive games are a natural result in a team competition.
