In Response To: +1 (Rod)

I don’t think a transition to away-scoring is impossible. One obvious method would be to allow those who would like to keep away scores to use an extra column on their scoresheet for that purpose. The regular score should be prominent, positioned so that there is no doubt what it is. Given that, and a requirement that the away score carry a clear minus sign, there would be very little, if any, confusion. It may be that part of the opposition to away-scoring is a feeling that some opponents do not understand how critical the away score is in a match. Switching the scoresheet to away-scoring would draw attention to its import. Mike
