Following numerous concerns that the QUAD scoring system is unfair and results in multiple players receiving a cumulative score of zero each year, QUAD Head Scorekeeper Erin announced changes this week that are expected to make the scoring system more competitive for the less experienced participants.
Beginning in 2013, all players will start the QUAD with 1000 points. No other changes will be made. Where in the past a winning score might be 40 points, going forward a typical winning score will be 1040 points, a mere 4% higher than the scores if the lowest finishers.
With this move, competitive parity has finally been reached in a traditionally unbalanced event.

Thank you Erin! These bold changes are sure to affect the final outcomes in a positive way for years to come!
I'm not sure how this rule passed, seeing as, on the Quad website Elizabeth Weigand's picture is above the title of "Head Scorekeeper," but I am so pumped that it did.
I really think that this will boost morale for each and every competitor. I'd much rather lose with a thousand points instead of zero.
Happy late Thanksgiving present to everyone!
Haha, this is awesome. Can't wait to see all of you. Thanks again for letting me be apart of this awesome family tradition, and I love you all. That being said, I'm looking forward to a clean game this year and I hope for the worst of luck to all. See ya soon, Slade
