All that should matter is the hidden skill ranking IMO. The amount of points you get should be purely derived from the level of accomplishment; it is a greater accomplishment to defeat a ST than a Masters, always, assuming that the league assignment is correct for the respective players.

That said...I don't personally care about the division ranking, so if the consensus is in favor of this change, okeedoke.

Well, I agree that all that should matter is hidden-rating, however that does mean you should be able to get more points from beating a Masters player than a Super-Titan as many Masters players are rated more highly than Super-Titans and just have yet to be promoted (grrrr). But yes, it seems weird to discover that points aren't determined purely by hidden-rating! Aren't points supposed to be reflective of skill? And isn't the best way to do that by looking at a player's true skill rating?

For those of us to be lucky/skilled enough to be in the top 200 we have our progress/decline against our peers posted every week which as I understand it is based purely on the hidden rating. The league system point allocation previously did not provide a "league" picture merely form. In my opinion it was meaningless and only there to provide someone not in the top 200 something to look at. Now we are getting close to a system that provides true league standings to some extent separate from the hidden ranking system.

As for more points against a high ranked master versus a 0 point ST Szei is the case in point. I'm sure you'd still get a decent score against an ST though
