2012 Ladder scoring has problems

[Kool Kat]

I had no idea about the whole concept of "bonus points" until now, and I'm not sure I care for it. Not that it matters for anything.

The bonus point system has been in place for many years. Bonus points are mentioned in several of the Club's ROE's including ROE #21 "Tournaments."

The H2H Scenario Testing section specifically notes that both designers and play testers will receive "... 20 points per size modifier..." for approved H2H scenarios / submitted test reports.

Also, each player's profile has a "Bonuses" section that any Blitzer may access to see the bonus points that are awarded for other contributions to the club - H2H scenario development / testing, writing book reviews, writing AAR's, hosting tourneys, etc.

Why shouldn't players who contribute to the Blitz be awarded / recognized for their efforts by bonus points?

Folks can still sort and figure other information from the Ladder statistics:

Best players: Click on ELO
Most games won: Click on that heading
Contributors to the Blitz: Click on Score

Again, here at the Blitz, we recognize players for their gaming wins... in addition to a myriad of other activities.
