I've done so in a reasonable fashion.
But it seems your logic and perspective is still clouded and colored by your past grievances with the clan feature and other clans.

I'll let you guys have your fun with this thread.
Carry on.
oh really?
how about explaining the demerits of your method of choice
I see good and bad in both
gross points is the method I would prefer

Just change default setting on your clan ladder to gross points. Its really easy to do. Russ added that feature in the hope of making everyone happy.
Epic fail.
The real champions are net points though as was voted for.
If you have a better idea try site ideas. But the last one posted there was rediculous created fron the mind of a complete idiot as you can see by the lack of support but good for the comedy element.
The clan you are using as an example are playing the way the clan system was designed for playing chess against players you dont normally meet in tournaments.
I would abolish the 200 rating buffer that would boost games.

Robbie? who;s robbie......oh wait ....that's right; Mcgayo's old humping post !!

I remember that idea he had. Russ thought it was so funny he highlighted it for us all to have a laugh at.

The current system is as good as it's going to get. Stop whining and get on with it.

OK
I have a dilemma
I am in a tournament which has been won but I still have several games to play
Now do I do what captain Pugwash and his cabin boy suggests and resign them all like they do in challenge games because I can't win
Or do I do the honourable thing and finish them

You wont win anyway.
Are you going to report me for saying you are not a very good player?
Captain pugwash wow thats as lame as your chess
Boring predictable as usual.
Time to leave this thread for me you must be very busy answering all the questions in connection with your site idea.
Talk about embarrassing.
Enjoy what is left of your sad life

sort by most gross points and see how much more competitive it would be
a world of difference because every game would matter

You don't seem to understand the gross point system.
It is exactly same as net points except losing clan doesn't get a deduction.

Every game does not matter because once the challenge is won or lost, the points are awarded to winning clan.
The remaining games are irrelevant in net and gross points.

if it is exactly the same then why the big discrepancy in the standings when comparing the two?
also by eliminating negative points every game matters and is of equal value
it is a much fairer and competitive structure using gross points
it's just my opinion and I realize it will never be adopted

edit: under a gross point system, regardless of whether the challenge is won or lost, the remaining games would be counted.....EVERY GAME WOULD BE USED IN THE FINAL TALLY and by eliminating negative points, every game would carry the same weight

UMM makes you wonder doesn't it ?
