Don't conflate Skill Rating divisions and tournament divisions- they're not the same thing despite their naming. In actuality you're on the lower end of the Division 5 skillratings and likely would have been placed in Division 4 with 8 divisions in play. However since there was no Division 1, the numbers just went down. I know this has been explained to you several times now. Tournament divisions work differently because those Skill rating numbers alone are not enough (and cannot be enough) to properly place people for the sake of a tournament. The goal posts move based on the people that sign up- skill rating brackets in the leaderboard do not.



The systems you mentioned above are fairly modular in the sense that they don't really impact one another- Tierpoints, Average Rank, AAA Equivalency rank are all different approaches to demonstrating a player's skill level. You can choose to focus on what you want to focus on, but i don't see any manner in which they really conflict with eachother.

Weighted average of your top 15 scores. Thats it, theres literally no nuance to it beyond that. Hence why, as stated before, its not the only factor that decides which division you are placed in for tournaments.

Yeah that's cool and all but what the heck are Tier Points and why should I care
