the clan scoring method should be changed
why?
why do closely fought matches end with the loser getting nothing
it just doesn't make sense
it puts way to much importance, at times, on a single game
won't someone get back to me?
or am I just wasting my time?
I see you are quite a newcomer to the site.
When I joined in 2010 there was a debate raging in the forums regarding the scoring system.
I can't remember all the arguments but the system remained the same.
I think different methods had been tried and rejected in earlier years.
Perhaps your post will re-ignite the debates -but I doubt it.

If there is a problem with the scoring it's that the system rewards quantity over quality. Whoever sends out/accepts the most challenges wins, bonus points for sending lopsided matches.
If it where up to me I'd give far less points for clan matches and give lots of points based on clan leagues placings.
Edit: Also, this thread belongs in the clan forum.

a clan match ending 10-9.5 leaves the losing clan team with no points, the same as if the match ended 20-0
the winning clan would get 20 points in both cases and the losing clan 0 points in both cases
does that seem fair to you?

I doesn't matter if you lose by a mile or an inch, a lose is a lose. Sure you may have won both your games in the match, but it's a team game, win as a team lose as a team.
If yer not first yer last 😛

why not the next time you want to send a 10 man challenge...send 10 individual 1 man challenges...the downside...some clan leaders will only accept the ones in thier favour

Originally posted by lemondropOne clan wins, and one clan loses. Perhaps the scoring should simply be 1, .05, or 0.
