POINTS
Each victory against a Competitive Team is worth 1 point for the victorious Team. It does not matter if the match is an organized Skirmish, or a tournament of any kind. If both sides are competitive teams, then a Skirmish point may be claimed. Any Skirmish is worth 1 point; however, if a team of lower Rank defeats a higher Rank team, an extra “underdog” point may be claimed, meaning that a maximum of 2 points can be awarded per Competitive Match.
RANKED LADDER
The Ladder is made up 3 tiers,
Tier 3 - Elite - is 17+Points
Tier 2 - Competitor - 8 to 16 Points
Tier 1 - Newcomer - 0 to 7 Points
POINT LIMIT
Each week, each team can earn a maximum of 3 Points with an exception for “underdog” points. An Official Skirmish week begins at 12 a.m. EST Monday, and ends at 11:59 p.m. EST Sunday, at which point the Standings are updated.
LADDER UNDERDOG POINTS
An extra underdog point is given to victories against higher tier teams meaning if a team in T1 wins against a team in T2 the victory is worth 3 points, and the same T1 team wins against a team in T3 the victory is then worth 4 points.

Just a bit of inconsistency in these parts. The point limit is listed at 3 points per weak but I believe you wanted it to be 4?
Also I'm not sure how great it is to give a team the ability to earn as many as 4 extra points from an underdog win. Does that mean a T1 team could earn as many as 16 points in one weak from beating 4 tier 3 teams? The wording is a bit vague on this.

I don't think it's valid to use as a point skirmish as long as it's not a ingame supported gamemode.

I disagree entirely, I think all points should be earned from squid racing only, I'm entirely against the murdering of airships and I think we can all agree racing to be a much more peaceful way to resolve interclan differences.
Skrimskraw:
I love you Smollett.
Anyways. I had another suggestion.
when winning team gets a point for a win, I think it could be a good idea to give the losing team some sort of participation point. be it 0,25 or 0,5 points to add to their score.
Why?
because an active team that plays 20 games and though loses all 20, atleast in my eyes have worked for it and deserves to be in the tournament more than a team who played 3 games and gets invited.
also it would be a major boost to teams to start scrimmaging if they get points just for doing it.
Alistair MacBain:
But i fear if the gap between win and loose is that close you can farm yourself quite easily into the tournament without even winning.

could be something like every week you can only earn loser points up to 1 point or something like that.
