My Take on the Draw & the Play (Player Ratings).....

[Enugu II]

On rating, my scores do not disperse a lot. A 6.0 simply means good game. A 7.0 indicates a very good game. Rarely gives a 10 which to mean indicates absence of mistakes.

Surely 6 would be average; 7 a good game; 8 plus a really good game. 5 and below then below average to poor. And should a score of 10 mean an absence of mistakes? A player scores a hat trick and has two assists but completes 90% of his passes - you won't give him 10?

Sure the player would get a ten as what you have described fits the bill and actually does a bit more. However, I would not split hairs between a player getting an 8 or 7 in different systems. You will note that divergence of grades normally increases as the grading range increases. To have grading scores converge you will need a scale that may be limited from 1-5.
