In many cases it is hard to prove sandbagging in this case at least in my opinion after reviewing many games as I am retired and have the time, it is very obvious.

It is a shame my ex-Clan Leader removed his post about the sandbagging as he was dead on what he was saying, and it was points to his own Clan member. He was letting lemon know he doesn't approve of the sand ...[text shortened]... the coding would be an issue which is a shame. I don't think Russ believes it to be feasible.

I am dead on correct as I think we are up to 8 thumbs down as people like the ratings altogether so they can regulate their Clan rating. I expect the thumbs down to get higher too. Shows you how many sandbaggers we have. If someone can put a EURO 2020 thread in here which belonged in Sports than I can put about the Clan Challenge points in here. I know you are not among those who sandbag, not to say you didn't give me a thumbs down for the hell of it. 😛 😉 The Clan Leaders and Ex-Clan Leaders know I am correct about this. How many you figure will admit it?

Unfortunately t-g they do. I am quite surprised more people haven't noticed it. Or they know and are just keeping quiet about it.

A separate rating for Clan Challenge would see a much more equal chance of different clans winning, as ratings couldn't be fixed. Of course it can not stop people from giving points away, but that can be handled by people sending feedback on that one.

Fair enough. I have never played any Clan games so was not aware of such shenanigans went on !

It is a shame really we are down to only 5 pages where there use to be many more. Those aren't even full pages as many clans only have 1 or 2 players in them. At one time the Clan Challenges were thriving, they are dying out because of the sandbagging. Many are sticking to club, private, tournaments, and site tournaments.

I can't see the Clan Challenges lasting much longer if the rating is NOT separate from the other games. I've been playing in them now for 13 going on 14 years and have seen the decline over the years.
