My idea: there should be a "GST practice" room completely separate from regular guild spar. ONLY registered GST guilds, and ONLY registered members in these guilds can spar in this room. The score would be separate from regular guild spar, and this score would be used to make brackets. This room will be open 1 month before GST.

-This would eliminate the possibility of boosting GS points.
-This would stop noob guilds from recruiting "pros" to help raise their score.
-This would stop teams from using "practice guilds" and hoard points on their main guild. (But of course theyre still allowed to spar in normal GS room with no risk)
-This would also prevent anyone from sparring on different tags
-It also makes the brackets more predictable since there are no non-GST guilds on this scoreboard.
(^This is only for my proposed "GST practice" room, not normal GS; so dont flame)

However, I admit this roundabout way is very unreasonable to implement. There would have to be a LOT of planning ahead for both staff and players.
-Team registration would be have to be open a whole month in advance.
-Teams would have to have enough members registered to be able to spar and get enough points in time. Most people arent sure if they are going to be available a whole month from now. Even with registration open 1 week, people leave last minutes, and the team has to find a fill-in.
-It would be unreasonable to kill the regular GS room for a month. Or maybe the regular GS would still be active, and the "GST practice" room would be too sparsely used to bother implementing.



tl;dr: had a good idea yesterday, but highly unreasonable to implement.
