Apparently grizzly and that random letter guild got -3000 points for boosting! If they actually boosted (which i assume they did) nice to see admins making a stand and doing something

a lot of guilds lost 3000 points+ Rinse and Repeats/ Shark Gang etcetc, It's really confusing, prolly a glitch.

They need to spar more and get their rating deviation lower to increase their score or get it to where it should be.

Solace has 3k points (leaderboard) for the season at rank 2, so it's sparred a lot. Our rating is around 1800/75, but it only gains ~50 points per win. At that rate, it would take a long time to get from 5700 to at least 6500. How does this benefit active guilds?

Edit: 20-50 per win*

I think the implementation of this system two days prior to GST is a horrible idea. All the teams were already expecting to enter with the points they earned throughout this week or season (in some instances). It's unfair to those teams to foil their hopes and cut their points in half. This system IS BETTER, but not now, it's too late into the GST season to make such a drastic change. I believe that if this system were to be reverted and added after GST, it'd be the best solution.

Agreed, teams like shark gang, Whitebeard, Rinse and Repeat, I think Grizzly, all got screwed by this

Probably done for better seeding. Pretty late into the tourney, might be a little harder for teams to boost their points. Kinda lame cause Holy got a lot of points against fairly tough teams, but it's whatever. More practice, imo.

I feel like this was a good move.

There's about 40 hours from now until the brackets are determined. I feel that's more than enough time to spar and get their scores where they need to be.

Guilds with 100+ rating deviation -- these were the only guilds affected by the change -- shouldn't be able to sit through pre-GST week and coast their way into the brackets.  

doing this on thanksgiving sucks. I won't be able to get on tonight or tomorrow to guild spar and get points with my team since my family flew in from overseas...  

Great update, will just take time for people to adjust.

You're getting the points back easily, instead of spamming the thread, just Guild Spar and enjoy your time

No we arent, we literally got 0 points for a win  

From reading the last page, the new system seems decent honestly. Must suck to have -3000 points though lol.

My friends team (Almost Famous) Won like 10 Spars in a row and got from 2500 Points to 6000 Points after the 10th.  

Good move, stops guilds with 10 wins from getting 8000 boosted points and entering. Although, should have done this when registration opened.

FP4, is top seed/seeding still the guild with the most points in their guild profile or is it the wins on the season board? Also (RS) didn't lose points, will it need to spar again to keep its points?
