My point is you can't balance the rewards because the challenge is so much different based on the number of players | |
| Jul 31, 2021 at 0:22 | comment | added | Acccumulation | @JoeW That can be addressed somewhat by changing the points distribution. And I already discussed the effect of skill; your objection is just the inverse of a high skill player wanting the 11-point-for-win game. | |

Having a player get points just because they got placed in a smaller game isn't fair to the ones who get stuck in a larger game. | |
