    why does the winner take all and the loser get nothing?
    doesn't seem fair

    example: 10 member challenge won by score of 20-0, winner gets 20 points and loser gets 0 points

    in another 10 member challenge won by score of 10-9.5, winner still gets 20 points and the loser still 0

    where is the fairness, the logic?

    This allows for too many lopsided scores thus inflating some clans positions on the clan ladders especially those clans loaded with sandbaggers and unscrupulous clan leaders

    It's not to late to change, to remedy this situation would be a start

    The net points are counted and the net points is the default metrics for the table displayed.

    It does not matter what scoring system is used, the sandbaggers and unscrupulous will exploit it. That is what they do.

    Engine users, sandbaggers and the unscrupulous.

    Is this a chess site or a refuge for bandits.

    could you give an example.
    I my example of the clan that wins a 10 member match by only 1 point gets the same amount of points as if they won by 20, the nine points the loser scores has no bearing on the net score. The only time the losing clan gets any net points is when there is a draw.
    All I am saying is why the are the net points and gross points the same for the winner? It is the net points that determine the ladder rankings not the gross

    Sandbaggers are OK.

    Engine Users?..... not so bad.

    Only the unscrupulous are nasty people

    what about "fake profiles"?
