The New Point System

RE: The New Point System
I hate the new system. The last one was much better. I've been in the top200 for the last several months and now in the 60s. With the previous system, I was #2 or #3 in my division. Others around we're usually in the top200, I sometimes would be matched to them, and I'd notice promotions at the top of my division. Now I'm #12 and nobody above me is in top200 except #2 who is at 200/200. I only play a few games at a time and this isn't favorable to the new system.

The biggest problem is that this new system is clearly not zero-sum. Winner gets a bunch of points and loser loses a tiny. Just that makes it activity-based. On top of this, the change in points is based on the points of the loser, I think? This makes it activity squared - your activity times your opponents activity. This is worse than the original system. At least then you could look at your ratio to wins.

Tournament organizers should no longer use points for seeding. These points are garbage.
