points question

So the point distribution after a match seems backwards. For instance, in a 5 player game, the first eliminated person loses the least points and the person who fought to the end loses the most (2nd place). I don't get it! Shouldn't the better players that last longer lose the least amount of points?

Score
Conquer Club players are initially given a score of 1000. At the end of each game, the winner takes points away from each loser. The points to be awarded is calculated as (loser's score / winner's score) * 20, up to a maximum of 100 points from each opponent.

Has nothing to do with when you lose its your rank compared to the winners

it doesnt matter who or when you are eliminated. It is decided by
(loser's score / winner's score) * 20
so the higher the score of the loser and the lower the score of the winner, the more points are dished out.

I don't understand the equation. so if you have a high score as a loser you lose more points? Sorry for the confusion, I just don't get it.

ok. Say you have a score of 2000 and beat a guy with the score of 1000.

you would take the 1000 and divide it by your 2000 to get .5 then you would multiply it by 20 to get 10. Now say that you had lost this game. It would be your 2000 divided by his 1000 to get 2. Now you multiply that be 20 to get 40. Get it now?

Yes this is right - according to the formula explained.

I hope you aren't offended but I am amazed that you have been on this site for 6 months and haven't worked out how the points system works yet! :P

I never cared really, I just play for fun. But I'm getting a little more serious about it now and trying to figure the system out. Thanks guys.
