Quoted from LesManley:What's even worse is the point degradation for monthly events now makes it so that if I don't win the monthly tournament I run locally, my overall points actually go down because of it no matter how good I do.
Yep, I know exactly what you mean. It adds some extra pressure knowing that if you finish second your point total might still drop. It's a penalty for playing well in January-April. It also shows the importance of playing in annual tournaments if you actually want to improve your ranking.
