New team duel cumulative scoring sucks

We have decided to revert to the original scoring system in Ranked Team Duels (only the closest guess of each team counts). Starting the 19th of August.

Have you the brain worms?
This scoring system also punishes the team if one of teammates has an issue and can not guess. I had teammates with a black screen instead of maps, teammates who put the pin but their results did not account, bad connection, afk and so on.
Unranked team duels are casual, often with a random mate, so leave them with more forgiving scoring system. This system makes sense for ranked team duels in champion division and probably master1 only.
I spoke with multiple random teammates and literally all agreed that new scoring sucks.

I used to be able to play with any random player regardless of their rank/experience, but now if I want to do well in team duels then I must select my opponent more carefully. Less experienced players will be finding it more difficult to get teammates. The previous scoring system was better.

Please geoguessr needs to update urgent the way to discount points. It's totally unfair when an opponent loses most of the first 10 rounds and by one lucky round, he takes the match. Please find a fair way to do this urgently

So sad that you changed the Team Duels to the new system.. It's fine for ranked as a second option, but you've stole my favorite gamemode from me :-( no more interest in playing

Completely agree. At least give us the option!

I wish more casual players would chime in on this issue. Not everyone can guess the right dirt road in rural Russia, and part of the fun of playing 2v2 was being able to take risks and hedge. This scoring system does not make sense for 95% of the player base, and online works for the elite players.

100% this. Duel parties now discourage spread and encourage everyone to basically guess next to their best player.
It kills the gameplay and many of our regular lunchtime players don't want to play any more.
If you have unequal team numbers, the team with fewer players is at a huge disadvantage
