Knowing urself and ur opponents..

Some friends dont understand how team games like Badminton or table tennis work out.

Well i shall explain here with some basic analogy.


Lets consider Team A:

Horse A1 with 1200 power points
Horse A2 with 800 power points
Horse A3 with 600 power points

Now lets look at Team B:
Horse B1 with 1000 power points
Horse B2 with 700 power points
Horse B3 with 300 power points


Team A is obviously the stronger team. However, this is only the case when they are pitting strength to strength.

So Team B which is at a disadvantage needs to plot their moves.

In order for one team to win, that team must score 2 victories.

Horse A1 vs Horse B3
Horse A2 vs Horse B1
Horse A3 vs Horse B2

So which team shall emerge victorious now?


If u want to win a tournament, u not only have to be of a certain level, but also knowing urself, ur team mates and evaluative of opponents' strength and then making judgement of their possible moves.
