A: You actually start off at something like 900, and gain bonus points every game, win or lose, that you play. Around 50 games, the average rating should be roughly 1200. We did this to provide better seeding, because teams do need to learn how to play with each other, so we assume that every game you play is marginally improving your team strength up to a point.
So am I understanding correctly that you never lose rating for a loss and your rating can only go up as you continue to play?

Haven't looked into this, but since the roster size is the same for a team whether you play 5's or 3's, you could theoretically have a full 3's team and 5's team running games at the same time, correct?

Untrue. You will lose more points from losing than you will gain from having played a game -- but you will tend to go up in points as you play games.

Sure. We don't try to stop you either, it's fine with us.

Zileas, I had a question.. Perhaps two.

- Why not 10 people for one team? Since most other "teams" have this / mainly talking about Guildwars Comp scene / And Starcraft are the two that come to mind at the moment. Do you plan to "Increase" it after things have settled down? Or is it gonna stay at 8?

- Also, another question.. Sorry, I write alot..
I noticed you talk about seeding, but was curious.. So say like a person like "Saintvicious" who due to a glitch got 0 elo. If he started a team down in that area would he still get the rough patch of players? Or would he be put up to his zone? Mainly 2100+ players, although I constantly see 16-1700s get into his games for some reason.

Thanks for your time, if you ever do get around to chatting. <(o-o<)
