[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 90729"] The ranking system makes perfect sense IMO- the only way to improve your ranking, is to win against sides higher ranked than yourself- and then preferrably away from home, as there is a 3-point home advantage segment built into the rankings. Teams pick up very few, if any, points for victories over tier 2 and 3 teams- if you are 15 points clear of your opposition on the table, you do not pick up any ranking points for a victory- but stand to lose a chunk of points if you lose! The only way to climb the rankings, is to consistently win matches against top-class opposition, whereas a couple of defeats will see you sliding down at a rapid rate. [/QUOTE]
