Well, well, as former 8 time game league champion and come hell or high water, will soon return for a nineth occupation of the top spot, I find it my duty to defend the game league systems 20% rule. However there is where it stops. Starting out at a 1000 is bad, since you can lose and lose and lose then just reregister and be back at a 1000 again. Furthermore , as #1 player, you are extremely limited to who you can play for points as anyone at effectively 2/3rds of your point total are not worth playing 1 on 1 as you lose more then you gain. The problem is in the point distribution process. It should have limits to what you can lose and what you can gain. So if some system can be designed that does that, I would be happy to rule that ladder as well.
And this is true, its true.
