It's the only assumption we can have if we want an unbiased calculation... That's why I'm calling it silly. And the truth is quite funny as well because often
the team winning bell flags is the "tubing" team, which is actually the team that holds most of the time only 8 flags during the prac. So it's turned around.
Anyhow... as we cannot make such assumptions... it needs to be considered 10-10.
If you win flags 12-8 at
every ding, then why would every other second of the match have flags at 10-10? Do you think they reset to 10-10 immediately after a ding or something? The flags being held at dings will (for the most part) reflect the average flags being held over the course of the game. Since the entirety of your three posts are based on the supposition that flag averages will be completely independent of flag dings, then there really is nothing more to be said. At least until you understand what I'm saying in this very short post.
What you're making is an assumption, just as mine... which I have been telling you from the beginning NOT to include the BONUS into the calculations.
For ***** sake...

Ok, then I'll prove that the "assumption" I've made is pretty accurate.
Take a look at the sector league scores. They don't include a kill bonus, but they do tell us what we need to know: the flag averages and the bell flag averages. You'll see that the two are comparable. From

Need I go on? That's the first 10 matches. The overall flag averages don't even out like you said. They follow the bell flag averages very closely. I made an accurate, common sense assumption in my calculations. Are you still going to call it "silly"? Do you finally understand this, or can I check myself out of this pointless time-consuming conversation?
