#77761: "Tournament Points Option 1 for Winner and 0 for Everyone Else"

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
When creating a swiss system tournament, the only options for distributing points are:
..., +6, +4, +2, 0
+6, +5, +3, +1, 0, 0, 0 ...

I'd like a new option to be:
1, 0, 0, 0, ...

Only the game's winner gets a point and everyone else gets 0 points.

That would work so much better for many games, especially team games where one team wins and another team loses, like Good Cop Bad Cop or Codenames. Otherwise everyone on the winning team gets 6 points on the losing team gets 5 points.

Getting 5 instead of 6 is fine because it's basically the same as 0 instead of 1, but the real problem is when someone drops from a game or runs out of time and points are awarded based on time left such as 6, 5, 3, 1, 0, etc. It means that if you are in a game where someone runs out of time and you happened to have one of the lower amounts of time left, you could get ~1 point. Getting 1 point because someone else ran out of time when actually losing a game gives you 5 points is not right. You could not recover from it in a tournament.
