Should we include games where both scores are not submitted in the ranking?

The self scores don't contribute to the ranking, but we do show a comparison of the averages. Ideally, we want to have as many games as possible included in the calculating the rankings.

From the WFDF Spirit Directors Manual:

• It is preferable that all games count towards the awarding of the prize for SOTG, including the final(s).
• For the reason above, it is very important that the winner of the prize is determined only once all scores have been entered, or, failing that, once all possible outcomes have been checked.
  • This may mean that for any missing scores, the Spirit Director should enter a 0 or a 20 and see if these change the resulting highest average score for any team in the running to win the prize.
  • However, there is some margin for error there, so it is safest if the prize is not awarded until all scores are accounted for.

Instead of 0 or 20, would it be better to use the min and max scores of teams and use those values instead to reduce the possible margin of error?
