The scoring system needs to be tweaked

The pts system is a great idea, but it definately needs to be refined...its frustrating to no end to know that (as I was as of this post), if your in first, it doesn't matter who you face (even if it happens to be the second place guy), you'll NEVER get more than 10 pts.
The pt system is a great idea, it keeps balance in the game, but its pretty unfair to the guy at the top...
heres just a mathematical example...I face someone who is good and deserves to be near the top...I play for the first time and beat him (for whatever reason), now hes going to expect a rematch, and prolly not just one...if I refuse the rematch "Im a pussy", so I HAVE give them their rematch or they freakin loose it...mathematically he can loose 10 matches in a row, get negative 100, squeak out a win, and gain 500 pts just from that one win..thats a net gain of 400 pts, even though hes got a loosing record...
Now a good idea would be to either give out more pts depending on the placement of the players..eg 50 pts if you beat the second place guy, 40 for third, etc...
OR the easiest way is to penalize guys more than just the ten pts for a loss...eg..someone faces the 1st place guy and losses, he should be penalizes as much as he stood to gain from that fight...its brings more strategy into the game..you'll be forced to think twice about every loss you take.
And honestly, Ive had alot of insults thrown my way, insults which aren't very cool. I didn't come up with the pt system, and Im getting bashed for trying to play within it. Ive played every single major player in rotation, and beatten all of them just as much as they've beaten me, but I get called shit ass names when I wont play someone non-stop because I know that their going to get massive pts regardless of what their record is against me...If these guys stand to loose as much as they gain from playing me, maybe they'll leave me the fuck alone after playing me once or twice, regardless of the outcome.

Thats just my frustrated opinion..
