Towards the end of Doomtown (Deadlands CCG), Kaine and I ran into a situation where we went to a tournament, placed 1,2 (kaine, me as it always seemed to be the case) and his rating dropped 10 points, while mine dropped 50 points OVERALL.
The problem? We had both attained #1 state rankings for our factions of choice, and the competition at the tournament was..... apparently less than stellar. It came to a point where we as a team would draw in the finals as that was the only way to not butcher our rankings.
My personal opinion as to the problem with you losing points from the win is probably the hidden rankings. I understand why they are implemented, but I don't think that they are working as intended.
