It was decided by the original 14 members to use the TBCB game rankings for the league and we have used them since day one.

I can put this up for a vote later in the week and see if the owners wish to continue using the in game rankings for the EOY tournament or use the season points scored.

The only drawback I see using the points leaders to decide who's in, is some of the weight classes are stacked more than others. Example, we fight teams in our own division twice. Let's say I have a BW rated 9 & one a 7. The 3 other teams in my division have no BW's rated any higher than a 3 on their team. Both of my BW's should clean up in division play leaving them both with around 36 points with 4 matches to be fought out of the division. Their ranking should be low though however due to lack of performance points earned winning over a bunch of duds. Just my 2 cents. So to me, even though the current ranking system seems crazy at times and appears to reward the fighter who is peaking at the end of the season, I feel the game rankings do a better job of putting who deserves to be in the EOY tournament over the long haul of a season.
