The way I've seen it done is a certain amount (say, $5) for each 10-point difference. So a 3-point win would make you $5, a 13-point win makes you $10, etc. Resignation usually has a fixed penalty. So if the resignation penalty is $20, you'd resign if you're behind by > 40 points, but anything less than that you should keep playing and minimize the margin of loss as much as you can. When I've done this in the past, I've enjoyed the added goal of caring about the win margin. It can actually affect your plays and the amount of variance you try to introduce. |
