Santa Ana, CA
Quoted from ifpapinball:We do the best we can to not make changes during a season, but unfortunately sometimes it happens and believe me it's for 'greater good' of the accuracy of the system when we do it (even if a large group of people think that's not the case).
Just to again keep things in perspective, I pulled up your profile to analyze what the change did you personally. Unfortunately you did take a bigger hit compared to most, so your frustration is not lost on me at all.
Currently you're ranked 2570th with 16.80 WPPR points.
The change cost you 3.51 WPPR points, which would have had you at a rank of 2292nd.
At the State level, you currently sit in 7th place. If these changes didn't go in, you would currently be in . . . 6th place.
If that 10% drop in your world ranking, and 1 spot change in the Georgia SCS is a big enough issue that you no longer follow the system AND stop playing competitive pinball in general that's a big problem for me. If you stop following the system but still play in your Atlanta league and some of the other local events, I'd be far less disappointed in simply losing you as an 'interested WPPR person'.
I'd be absolutely thrilled for my 8 CA points to have me in a qualifying position for the state final, instead of being in 105th.
