It's not fair when I recruited a whole team, but only 6 players count. The others scored so many points, but they just get thrown away. It's demotivating for the players who played hard.
The Top 6 rule was supposed to protect small teams, but it doesn't. Teams like Russia and AntichessMasters win anyway because they have both quantity AND quality. The rule doesn't stop them. It only punishes middle-sized teams like mine.
Look at the numbers from our last battle:
Top 6 counted: 633 points.
Total of our whole team: 1245 points.
612 points were wasted.
We recruited 25 players for that battle. If the rule fails its own purpose, why keep it?
Tournament ID for reference: yQkkr4Xn
Does anyone agree that all points should count?
Is there any prizes?

If you are so desperate for money, why don't you get a job?
If you cannot get a job for some weird reason, why don't you try to join a team participating in the Chessmood Grand Prix? That has a lot of money/prizes

*Top 6 rule is useless protection - only AntichessMasters or Russia wins anyway*
Look at the screenshot: 167 teams registered.
Top 6 is supposed to protect small teams. But small teams never win. Check last months: Winner is always AntichessMasters or Federation of Antichess Russia.
Small teams with 2-3 players rank 20-167 anyway. They don't benefit from Top 6.
What Top 6 actually does:
- In our team AntichessMasters alone: 26 players scored points (1001 total), but only Top 6 counts = 479. 20 players scored 522 points for NOTHING.
- On the right side you see players with 2500, 2713 rating getting 0 team points. They played 1.5 hours for 0.
- Russia: 343 points from 6 players.
If we counted all points, we would have 1001 vs 343. We would win every time. With Top 6 it's 479 vs 343 - close fight, keeps Russia motivated.
So Top 6 does NOT protect 167 small teams. It only protects the Top 1 vs Top 2 duel to stay close.
But it kills motivation inside big teams. 20 players in our team alone made points and got 0. Next week we will have 15 players, not 26.
If you want to keep big teams alive, make it Top 20 or Count All. Small teams will still rank 20-167 , no difference for them. But big teams won't lose 20 players every week.

Dude. Message the people who made this. We can't do anything about it.
