Negative response: the EBU does not recommend VP scales for 2/3/4 board matches and does not publish any.

Sorry

Hi all,

I guess most of you are familiar with Patton-style scoring.
It's a combination of board-a-match and teams play.

In France, where the system is played the most, the teams play is
rated on a scale that requires lots of adding, subtracting and even a
division.

The dutch have opted for a more logical method of using IMPs to create
the teams part of the score.

Does anyone have optimum IMP-scales for 2/3/4 board "matches"? The VP
should balance to 4/6/8 points - so as to equal the 4/6/8 MP available
on the board-a-match part of the calculation.

Preferably statistically-influenced methods please.
