In a race, especially a long one, some teams will do better at the start, while others do better at the middle or at the end of the race.
What amount of decrease they may have, from one part of the race to another, is not meaningful.
What the CC does need, is a formula for working with new teams that are in the CC for the first time.
I believe it helps to think of the CC like a simple handicap foot race. You and I get a head start, and Usain Bolt has to start later.
Now, would it make any difference if you won, even though you got tired and slowed down in the last part of the race?
No, it wouldn't matter.
Would it matter if Usain Bolt won the race, and he'd slowed way down to pose for a few pictures, before he crossed the finish line?
No, it wouldn't matter.
Obviously the CC is not a foot race, but my impression is that people wouldn't want this category added to the race, because they don't believe it matters if a team's production decreases (or how much), during the race.
This is exactly what I needed, thanks! No sarcasm
As I said above, I needed to see whether you think such a measure makes sense or not. Clearly you don't, and I can see why not, thanks to your very fitting analogy.
An idea is an idea; it pops up, you feel like sharing it, but nobody else has to like it. What's important is being listened to, and responded to courteously. Thank you for doing exactly that!
Cheers OCF! Congrats, once again!
