Hey I got only two ducks and not that many as Ajit. I hope I finish the competition the same way as I started it!User2010 during this match.
Inactivity does not give you negative ratings.A guy as inactive as a GTA traffic light scores 79 in a tournament play-off.
Yeah, I know. That's a pretty shit thing about the simulator. You can't edit the ratings otherwise You'll lose the statistics.Activity does matter. We did award activity bonuses to the players who met with the bonus criteria. Just that we cannot reduce the player ratings just because he is inactive. Also, Epic Baker did win you the playoff too isn't it? He isn't much tbh.
It is but that doesn't bother us as VC calculates the stats manually. But reducing the ratings for the player seems a bit harsh active or inactive.[DOUBLEPOST=1462175987][/DOUBLEPOST]Yeah, I know. That's a pretty shit thing about the simulator. You can't edit the ratings otherwise You'll lose the statistics.
Especially as it was a Dusty track suited for the spinners.I made just one bad decision by not playing Tambe and we had to pay for it.
