How do you award Clan points

I really don't understand what you are on about.
The examples you show are for different amount of players in challenges.

exactly
But they all add up to the same amount of matches
So the points awarded should be the same and they are not so there is something wrong somewhere

A 5 player challenge equals 10 points
A three man challenge equals 6 points.
A one man challenge equals 2 points.
How can you expect them to be the same?

In any sport if a team gets beaten 5-0 or 1-0 the winning team still gets the 2 points. People with average intelligence or above get that, Unfortunately you don't Padger. Makes sense.

So, in an Ashes test series, you lose 2-1 or 5-0, it all counts the same?

Just asking you to clarify your thinking, Champ

Nice to see you are 'round and about', but choose to not pursue your over inflated claims on the first One Day Int.

Very wise, Champ. Hide away when look foolish

You do a LOT of hiding

(Sorry, Roma. If I DID subscribe and play for a clan, I would agree with your system)

I don't
And if you won 5 nil I would expect you to get 10 points
However with your stupid system if you won 3 - 2 you would still get 10 points
That cannot be right
You should only get 6 points ( with perhaps a bonus for winning the challenge ) and your opponent shouldn't get - 10 they should get 4 points

Why should a player be rewarded for finishing on a losing team?
Does not matter if said player wins both his games the idea of the clan system is clan v clan. Lose 6-4 or lose 10-0 it does not matter your team LOST.
I really fail why you can't understand that simple fact.
Take your clan for example I see a lot of one man challenges so why are you so bothered?

I think you will find that most clans now play small challenges
Not just because that's how things are now
Why take the gamble of being punished by an unfair system
Which mixes up clan challenges and clan matches
Go to the clan page and if you can work out by the figures that are there how each clan arrived at their totals you are a genius

Most challenges nowadays are based on the 200 rating gap. Nearly impossible to get 10 v 10.
You never answered do you think losers should get rewarded?
If your team loses no matter what you done it does not matter.
I see you have got your own rating way down sandbagging?

I don't have to be a genius to work out how many net points a clan has. Are you struggling?

You are a clan leader Padge, so you must know why clans only play small challenges.
Even before the 200 points rule I used to find it difficult to find compatible match ups and so when I was a captain we mainly played small challenges.A very rarely accepted 1 man challenges though as I didn't really agree with them.
When the cheeky monkeys were playing they always used to propose big challenges virtually regardless of the match ups but I don't think they did very well from it.
You mentioned bonuses somewhere in the thread I think.Maybe a system where the winning team had a bonus for winning a big challenge may be workable but that would discriminate against the smaller clans so that's not really a good idea.
It's irrelevant to compare the challenge system on the site to other team sports.In all other sports the teams playing are always of equal numbers.
I can see where you're coming from but I agree with most of the others that the system we have is probably the best

No not sandbagging
I wondered when that one would come up
I have had a number of periods in hospital where i was unable to connect to the web
So was unable to use the vacation system which as I have found out when I did avail myself of it is pretty useless
Why can't the game clock be stopped as it is on other sites

Not his again!!
The vacation system is incorrectly named.
It's a timeout protection system and it works fine.

well it doesn't say that
Try taking on some 1 day time out games and see where it gets you

If you are on holiday and take a vacation simply book it and you are protected skull only appears if you don't move after vacation runs out.
Can't have a freeze clock even for illness might sound harsh but it would mess up tournaments etc for other players.
I have not had many loses by timeouts. Only after a family emergency the last thing I cared about at the time was losing a game on RHP

I have over 100 time outs due to the stupid vacation system
It doesn't work
The clock still counts down and you only have to have a couple of hours off site and you get timed out

Total nonsense.
If the vacation flag is up.
Timeout can't be claimed even although there is no time left.
If you don't move once the vacation period ends then it can.
But once you move the clock is reset. So in a fast one day time out it gies back to 24 hours.

I think that guy is on acid or something Roma. He's totally off with the fairies (gidday Lemondrop). WTF is he yammering on about this time. I don't think he understands that there are rules on this site and that he has to comply with them like everybody else. Man he is sure one whacked out cowboy. His current rating just about sums up his grasp of reality I think. Honestly, where do these bozos crawl out from???????
