Balderdash Titans :
This was brought in when match fixing was rife and obvious. Restricting the difference to 24 means that if a game is fixed the winning team doesn't get a stupid amount of difference, thus giving them an advantage in a close league.
There will always be some innocent teams, like yourself, who get shafted by it. But, at least it's the same for everyone in the top couple of leagues.
Cheers for that. I wasn't aware of this. Match fixing is pathetic.
