Yes but which is the cause, and which the effect? I take it you are saying neutrals declaring sways the balance of a game. I understand Laurence to be saying neutrals declaring is likely the result of the "better" side successfully wooing them, or the "worse" side proving its ineptitude to said neutrals...
Drew
- eliminate neutrals
Some variation on that might be a format that means that it encourages
earlier declarations and keeps the mix of neutrals spread. So that you
don't get your 4:1 or 5:0 split (I take Laurence's point that you can win
with 14v11 but it's not likely in most cases).
I could check through the data to show that the split of Neutrals is the
determining factor in who wins games but that would take a lot of work to
do and even if I proved that there was a strong correlation (I'm pretty
sure it's the case btw) I'm not sure that it would convince players.
