Thank you SPORTZ,

An excellent response !!

I had thought that what you said would be the case.
I was wondering if members had experimented, hopefully advantageously, with the neurals. Let's put the wet track aside for a moment.
What would prompt someone to alter the "weighting" to different columns/criteria ? Is the punter saying "I know more than the neural constructors" or "their formula is wrong" ??
My friend has put together a column system on a spreadsheet.
He uses very similar criteria to neurals. After all "Practical Punting" have been talking about these known criteria for years. He "weights the columns - some are out of 20 or 10 or 15 etc etc depending on the importance he puts on that item. They add up to 100. So does neurals do the same ? Are all columns of equal points ?
