Friday rant. Sports scoring.


Who the hell ever came up with the scoring system in some sports??? Who decided a touchdown is worth 6 points? Why 6? why not 5? It's way easier to add and keep track of. The US OPEN of tennis is on every local channel cause it is going on live right now in CT. Who decided how to score this game? Why isn't it like volleyball? Volleyball is easy, all this up 5 7 in the second set and now up 2 luv, what the fuck is 2 luv?? If you haven't followed tennis your whole life you'll never understand what 2 sets to luv down means, and screw trying to play with your buddy for fun and scoring the game correctly, not going to happen. Scoring sports is just rediculous, don't even ask how they score surfing???? I mean, i'm pretty sure the wave gets points.... This is why BMX contests are easy to score, count the tailwhips plus the flairs add the barspins and the highest number wins. All of it is just stupid.

you're forgetting to subtract for any obstacle you hit without doing one of those three tricks on it..

and adding spins.. plus spins with tricks.. for example a 1080 double barspin is a total of 5 spins 2 are bar spins and 3 are bike spins.. 10 points
