Hard close ear end clan points

Given the blatant practice of sandbagging of points carried over into January each year by the top 2 clans (once either realises they have either won or lost the year the points are sandbagged until the next year), there needs to be a simple close to each year along the following lines:-

on 31st December a simple program runs that looks at each open challenge and for all those challenges where the remaining games are 'nugatory' (Vespin/Rusty you will need to use a dictionary), the remaining games are set to void (ie treated as though the games had less than 5 moves), and the points awarded accordingly.

This wont stop the points sandbagging in entirety, but will for sure minimise the blatant practice of the top 2 clans in particular.

Dear Russ, this is a simple piece of code .... and there is plenty of time to implement this between now and 31/12/2024

Thank you for thinking about the problem and putting forward a suggestion.

I don't think this will hekp. Clan leaders will find a workaround. I ciould suggest some... As long as people are hard wired on winning, they will be creative...

This debate has been blundering along for years.
You mention the "top two" clans.
What you mean is the clans that appear highest on the net points list which is a flawed measure of a clans performance.
Until we get a true measure of a clans performance to look at nothing will change.
If it were the premier league and Arsenal played 50 games in a season while Liverpool only played 20 who do you think would be champions?
The net points list is pointless.I fail to understand why players set so much store by it.
