2012 Ladder scoring has problems

[PawelM]

It seems non-competitive game activity can proove more rewarding point wise than winning the competitive games. Propably for this reason I view the table based on ELO and win ratio.

I am not bothered too much about all the above, but I understand that players trying to be at the top can feel the benefit of many test games as can offer more points than normal games.

Take for instance myself, an average player who looses as many games as wins. I play around 5 games at a time with various level of complexity and average at 20 points per game, i.e. nowhere near the top of the table. Now if I chosen to make these 5 games to be the test games I could easily increase my average point per game very significantly. I understand that for report and the game completion of a medium size scenario I can get around 100points bonus without having to win a game.
Based on that I can see this can cause an upset to some members who view the table in a very competitive manner and try and climb up the ladder by winning competetive games....
just my 0.02 to the scoring ....

And a reminder I am not too bothered as I use ELO and win ratio to view the ladder :)
