proposals for a new figure-program

Edition 1 from May 2025:

Introduction:

(Edition 2 will follow after enough reactions and input)

The introduction of the 7-figure program was not really a smart move.
I will not go into this in more detail.

Do we need a new composition of figures?

The idea:
composing a new program: 14 sets of 8 figures.
(8 figures per set, also thinking about the team-tournaments)
- in each set equal figure-value distribution: 5-8-7-10-5-9-6-10=60
(other proposals for distribution welcome)
- 12 new figures, with fig.41 and (an adjusted) fig.75 = one new figure in each set.


(In the 100Figure program we have 750 points, this is an average of 7,5 pts per figure,
here we have 8 figures with 60 points, also the same average,
so most of the figures may have the same points as in the past.
To change a old figure a little bit it is better to change the mark on the table as the worth in points,
the mark on the table happens once by marking,
the worth in points everybody have in his head since years...)
- balanced shot types in each set
- adjustment of figures based on statistics
- merging of marking points on the table

The most new figures and the changements of the old ones are of course not my personal ideas,
I already collected ideas, compiled them, and here you see the result.
I do not write which figure was delivered by whom.
I also did not judge or filter any sent idea, the reader has to evaluate that for himself.

After approx. one or two months collecting new ideas, figures and comments I will publish edition 2.

Please send your serious opinion to office@ciba-online.net
