So .... what was the starting point ?
The ratings had to start somewhere.
Our clan's rating strength has to be a reflection of the strength of our individual players !!
If you continue to call our clan a nest of 1900-2000 players, someone will ask why our clan rating is under 1400.
It doesn't have to be me asking the question !!

He hasn't said what that number means.
The risk here is that clan rating may turn out to be a meaningless number .
And that would kill the clan feature.
I just clearly stated that 2 clans can set up a balanced challenge in terms of player strength that yield badly unbalanced risk/reward scenarios for each clan.
There is a problem with that.

It appears to me to be based on two factors, the win to loss ratio of the challenge and the clans relative ratings. Look at this here
Clan challenge 285913
Spinning stars v The Be Happy clan
10-3 in favour of the spinning stars
Spinning stars were lower rated but not overtly so.
Start of the challenge they were 1199 as opposed to Be Happy clan who were 1260
The spinning stars gained a massive 68 ELO points and the Be happy clan forfeited -68 points.
This makes absolute sense because if you are managing to win challenges by a disparity of 10 to 3 then clearly you are much stronger than you rating suggests and this should be reflected in your rating.
If we contrast this with this challenge here
Clan challenge 290011
The Easy Riders v The Arrow
The Easy Riders won this challenge by a massive 16 games to 2
However they only got 9 points for it because The Arrow is so lowly rated
Again this makes absolute sense, beat up on lowly rated clans and no matter how much you win by you will get hardly anything for doing it.

Risk, what risk? based on what assessment? Your delusions? Please give us a break and post something REAL!
