DraftKings Scoring Changes
If you’re reading this article, you’re probably already aware of this, but I wanted to point it out just in case. There have been some scoring changes announced on Draftkings and this is the first slate that will use the new scoring. Here’s a quick summary of what changed:
GLA No Longer Exists: I spent way too long researching and writing a primer about how GLA was calculated, but it looks like that might have been a wasted effort. I never disliked it as much as most, but I’m ok with it going away.
Round Not Played Bonus: In place of GLA, they have added a 0.5 point bonus for each round not played. So this will be a maximum of 7 points per player per game (14 rounds x 0.5 points), so the potential for 21 points in a best of three match that goes the distance. Keep in mind that both teams will receive the bonus, not just the winning team.
