At one time, it was thought that scoring chances went through a two stage process, with attack ratings weighed against defence ratings first and then a final check on confidence performed to decide if the goal was scored. HT-Bjorn has stated in a global conference post that confidence is factored directly into attack ratings and has no other effects, and this was thought to settle the debate. However, HT-Tjecken has subsequently determined that there is an additional confidence effect on attacks that is not shown in the ratings, giving the lie to Bjorn's earlier statement.
