Hope you don’t mind, Matt -
This is what I’m talking about. Games between players that are 3 tiers apart (assuming they’re in the right tier, which is less likely for a player with only 2-5 games played but much more likely when 10+ like Adam has) are not competitive.
So to the occasional complaint that the point system provides a disincentive to play someone who is several tiers lower than you, I again say that that should not be considered a problem. It would be extremely rare to have a competitive game between players who both have 6+ games completed and are 3 or more tiers apart. Not saying they shouldn’t happen - they can be fun for the winner and educational and fun for the loser. I have played multiple non-competitive games over the years - I rarely turn down a challenge from another player. Just saying don’t whine about your PPG dropping when you knowingly played someone who can’t beat you 10% of the time.
