Check this out... and this could happen realistically... Let's say
that you have a team which does not have a great breadth of
knowledge, but has profound depth at the subjects in which it knows.
Let's say that said team doesn't get many tossups in general and
goes, say, 4-8, but out of the tossups they get, over 80% are powered.
Of course, the team won't get to hear many bonuses, but let's say
that they happen to get all of their bonuses in their areas of
expertise, and they average over 25 points per bonus.
Even though this team would not win many games, the team would do
very well in power tossup percentage and extremely well in "the best
gauge of a team's skill": bonus conversion. Would you take this 4-8
team over, say, an 8-4 team?
