naufrago:
"You may only gain points once from the same team in skirmishes per week."

Hypothetical situation- let's say Merry Men have a scrimmage against Corvus on Saturday. Both of us have point totals of 0. Say Corvus wins the fight, netting 1 point. Could we then decide to do another scrimmage with Corvus immediately after? Would it count for 2 points if Merry Men win the next fight (since Corvus would have 1 point to MM's 0)?

If that's the case, it could be exploited a bit to guarantee two colluding teams to get 1 or 2 points from each other each week. You may want to change the phrasing to "There is no limit to how many scrimmages per week you may play, but you may only fight each team once per week for points. You may, however, face those teams in a tournament the same week and get points."


EDIT: You may also want to put an anti-collusion clause somewhere in the official rules, and maybe a minimum size for a tournament (3 or 4 teams from 2 or more clans). There's currently nothing written that stops, say, The Ducks from creating a 2 or 3 team Duck-only 'tournament' multiple times per week (the Ducks are just conveniently large, not implying they would actually cheat the system). You could even say "Muse has final say on whether a tournament grants points or not. As long as it's not blatant cheating or against the spirit of competition, pretty much anything is fine."

Morbie:
If Merry men won the first against corvus, then the two teams played again, merry men would not gain a second point if they won again.
The rule is as it reads.

Captain Smollett:
I think what naufrago is saying is that two teams could conspire to just lose one match to each other every week. 
I was actually thinking of something similar to your proposal but you beat me to the forums.

I kind of like the idea that if team A receives a point for beating team B, then team B can't receive a point for beating team A during the same week.

This will also ensure Scrimmages stay competitive since it will make winning even more important as you won't be able to just rematch to get your point.

Skrimskraw:
I'm still not a fan of point systems based on whoever has the most time per week.

I want to say good luck to everyone. Corvus will probaly be capable of playing each of you at some point, but I don't think we would have the time to stack up points each week. Lots of school, studies and work coming up for us these next months.

If there isnt some kind of participation points from scrimmages, that would mean we have to win each and everyone of our scrimmages to even have a chance at getting into the seasonal finals. Of which has proven to be hard vs. the sniping meta.

Coldcurse:
i have all the time of the world at the moment.

May the best dutchmen win!
