Thank you, JP. I know how difficult it was for you and Donelladan to recreate these rankings and I hope you know how much people in this community value and respect the work you do and the time you put in.

It will hurt you slightly.
The score for the war will be around 1185.
Max score is opponents score+600
Does that mean even if they won 43-0 they would lose some points?
Yes
No clan should ever lose points by winning flawlessly. That needs to be fixed in the future.
I don't disagree with you.
But as Donelladan said, to change that it would be a new ranking system. And making so it definitely never happens could not be easily done. There are a few simple parameters that could be adjusted to mostly achieve the result I think though.

ToFU isnot playing in RL where the same clans from the CL second division are playing but risk of losing points in RL is bigger than in CL because sets are 12 games instead of 16 games and games are random instead of home away so more luck based. Despite playing in every season of RL, S&M is still ranked #1.

As I said previously, I think if you're worried about rank that much you shouldn't be skipping years. Even a bad year in PD long as you aren't relegated will prevent the losses TOFU experience in SD. Its self inflicted by skipping.

It's self-inflicted, but not everybody is aware of that . We had great reasons not to play in CL the year before and I would totally do that again: advocate against playing in CL year 1, and lobbying to play CL year 2.
I'm not concerned with rank. I just want to win. Rank will work itself out.
But, I maintain that no clan should lose points if they are perfect in a war. You will not change my mind on that.
Yes, in our most recent war we were not perfect and thus I am for the most part ok with some minor loss of points although I don't know that other clans would have done significantly better. As I posted in our internal forum - winning that match 42-1, 38-5 or 33-10 won't tell us much about where we are, its usually the semi finals for most clans that reveal where they are (although there seems to be one quarter final match per year that is relevant).
