losin as many points in a tourny game as people do is a joke...like ive mentioned plenty of times before, players can end up with less points than they started with even if they win the tourny, please for god sake, nick sort it out

i dont quite mind the idea of ranked tournies, but when its double points or what ever, its beyong a joke to be honest, and i know plenty of others agree

Why not and make the ranking system flawed which it would be. Think about it, if someone is on 1000.0 (which is impossible anyway atm) but if you say they are, they win and gain the minimum they get over the impossible 1000 rank. Massive flaw in that, so there is nothing to fix.

i wasn't 1000 and i got nothing off the player ina ranked game

What your saying is that you should get something for winning everytime and what damee is saying is that if that was to happen then it would be possible to get to 1000 which isnt possible. If ya catchin what hes droppin?

yeh i get u but even if its 0.1 lol i got 0.0 lol?

kal_el88 potted black ball (foul)
RESULT: 8 Ball Pool UK Ranked - kal_el88 (0) loses to cushion (1) by a foul on the black
RANKINGS: cushion 858.1 (+0.0), kal_el88 674.6 (-0.4)
cushion's score change was reduced by 89.8% because kal_el88 was a newbie

***cushion's score change was reduced by 100% because kal_el88 was a newbie

It was rounded surely- you must have gotten less than 0.05!
Maybe play a better opponent lol

Well, it makes sense. If you only win 2-1 against a low-ranked player, you're gonna lose more points than you win- tourney or not.

Totally agree with you antione , its 2 steps forward and 10 backwards sometimes . I must say tourna points mean nothing to me , living in Australia and being on when not many people enter tourneys means i have fat chance of doing any good so rank is what i aim for and i do feel that double points is harsh

fair enough seb mate, but when a player is takin 5+ points per game off someone and only gainin 1.5 or 2 when they win, surely the difference in points won is far too much..its hardly fair on the higher ranked players, only the lower players seem to be gettin somethin out of this.

to be honest chaos lol i shouldnt have moaned about it, nothings gonna be done anyway lol..just wish it was fairer on us all

this site seems to favour low ranked players(obviously to keep them coming back to play) far too much,its becoming a waste of time.

just getting 1.0 or less per game seems outragess,you should get atleast 2 minimum...dunno how it affects you when playing newbs and virts..maybe a chart to ecplain would be nice...

It's just anoyying winning 5 games in a row and only winning like maybe 3 points

the arcade points scoring is definitely flawed,how is it fair that you can only win as little as 0.1 and 0.2 for games?

You know where the door is if you dont like it

lol
oh so u like it then....winning is one thing but it eliminates the point of ranking... you woul have to win over like 30 in a row to make a difference


so once again thats boring...takes the fun out of ranked games

great addition to the topic.

Play tournys then? Thats why the points have been doubled to try and make tournys more worthwhile

yah but u cant always play every tourny, u should be able to playh ranked games and have a reason to win

please explain the ranking points here for two consequentive games....

RESULT: Straight Pool Ranked - warcriminal (1) 50-10 (0) squarebit
RANKINGS: warcriminal 700.3 (+2.6), squarebit 674.8 (-2.6)

RESULT: Straight Pool Ranked - warcriminal (2) 49-8 (0) squarebit
RANKINGS: warcriminal 700.6 (+0.3), squarebit 672.3 (-2.5)

It looks like a random scoring system to me!

I.e gain of 2.3 1st game and gain of 0.3 in 2nd game?
