Need some quick vocab help

[TrooperFarva]

Ok, have a little maturity here

What's a word that describes a situation in which a smaller number is better, like golf scores.

Basically, complete this sentence, "Golf scores are _______, the lower your final score, the better you did"

For those who must know, I'm working on a presentation about industrial chillers. Part of the presentation is about their efficiency. As the measure of their efficiency drops, the more efficient it is. I don't think 'inversely proportional' is the proper term, as 'proportional' implies a reference to something else.

Thanks for the help.

how about just say
the lower your golf score the better

inversely proportionate was the first thing that popped into my mind.

You could say "counterintuitive"

You could just say "pfffft" while waving one hand and rolling your eyes....
but how would you spell that? Damn

"Golf scores are like cholesterol; the lower your final score, the better you did"

 

[ibnzneksrul]

inverted, reversed, backwards, transposed

Yeah, that's what I was thinking initially, after inversely proportional, but I wasn't sure it'd make grammatical sense. I went ahead with it though, good call. Thanks.
