I appreciate the effort you're putting into this Cloud, but I must say I disagree with parts of the scoring method:
1. The higher ranked the opponent you beat, the more points you should get.
2. The lower ranked the opponent you lose to, the more points you should lose.
Makes perfect sense to me... The method you describe seems to make it too difficult to lose points. I understand you wanting to encourage activity in the league, but I think it would really improve the accuracy of the system if it were modified to rank players based mainly on the results of their matches as opposed to the number they play.
Why not? I think it's only fair.
