I scored 0.00 points at every tournament? Hmmmm.

Afraid WPPR has been losing relevance as time goes by. The latest need to play a minimum number of machines was put into light Saturday when the tourny was running late and the organiser wanted to change the rounds to best of 3 rather than best of 5. Couldn't do it as it would impinge WPPR points. Ludicrous situation where players had lost after 3 games but still had to carry on playing.

Here's what I'd like to see.

1) Pre approved WPPR sanctioned tournaments, as a series (like PAPA), only events 3 years or older to qualify (gets rid of "birthday tournament" etc)

2) Base value dependant on style of tourny and a maximum amount of each type per season per series. Low starting value but based on perceived difficulty of qualifying.
e.g.
One shot qually, round based finals: 5 points
One shot qually, one joker, round based finals: 4 points
Pump & dump: 3 points
Double elimination: 2 points
Head to Head: 2 points
League format: 1 point

3) Most points calculated from player skill (as now but all count)

4) Last 15 events count. At the moment you drop your worst score but WPPR is supposed to be who is best right now. I have seen not so great players get higher rankings because they attend 2-5x the amount of tournys, law of averages says that eventually they are going to have a better result.

5) Decay of points over 2 years, 33% of live value.

Once set in place (and I know that needs more it's just an example), stop dicking with it!
