Preliminary clan ranking on HW.

Regarding artificially lowering your rating – how do you envision that working? Intentionally lose a couple of tournaments, get a negative bonus, and then win a tournament where no one wants to participate, thus regaining your rightful zero rating? There are too many factors to consider, including the desire of specific players to participate in a particular tournament.

Alex, let's go back a bit to our conversation about bonuses. Remember my example, where a player with a zero rating could gain 2,500 points in a single tournament, while the rest would be stuck around a hundred... Iron specifically recalled this scenario, and if we don't see it as a problem, then a particularly "gifted" player, without breaking the rules, could lower their rating by skipping a couple of tournaments due to the aging system... And then, their brilliant performance would raise them to an unreachable height... The difficulty lies in the fact that a conscientious player, who is actually a strong player but, for objective reasons, cannot play frequently, could end up in a similar awkward situation. And from the outside, it would look exactly the same... So, that's why we're having this conversation – it's better not to create such scenarios in the first place.
