Haven't been playing much recently but when I was I had a particular interest in the new point system, and apart from ST vs ST (which A&A said was still a bit wonky), I did see points reflecting more than just rank e.g. playing the same opponent several times in quick succession, with results not altering our league positions but the points gained/lost changing with each subsequent game. So number of points accumulated and hidden ranking still in there somewhere I think

Yes this occurs for me too. I play the same opponent 3 times and if i win all three the second and third games the winner gains fewer and the loser loses fewer points in each finished game.

When i was trying to break the HR code I ran correlations on more numbers than I really needed to. And again just to clarify it became quite difficult for me to get the real situation based solely on my stats.
But nonetheless when I was doing it the points seemed only to correlate to ranking within the league (which basically means only your points).

What got me to thinking that that this was a separate formula than the hidden ranking system was that the correlations made no sense until you separate the two systems entirely. At that point, it becomes rather straight forward. I was for a long time #1 in ST and playing players who had both higher and lower hidden rankings than I did (at least at the most recently published HRs). Being as I was #1 for both the league rank was controlled for and there were many cases of players who were lower in HR than I was who lost more points than those who were higher despite beating both.

If i start with 500 league points and you start with 400 then I believe that OML has a formula for point awarded/taken for win/loss. So if we play 5 games and I beat you all five. Lets say the first was I get 20 points and you lose 10. the second would then move 21/9, 3rd 22/8, 4th 23/7 and so on.

I could be 100% wrong who knows but that is my guess.
