Hi,
So I was on the (new) Smogon PO server today (July 25th) and I was having a few RU battles.
When I first checked my ranking, I had a little over 1100 points. A few battles later, I checked my ranking again and I was first with 1208 points!
I was happy, but I was also surpirsed that I had gained so many points in such a small amount of battles, many of the variations had me gaining fewer than 10 points when I won.
After reaching 1208 points, I had another battle and the variation was +12 -20. I won, and after checking my rank again I saw that I has 1232 points, or 24 more than I had previously, exactly 12 more than the points I should have gained. I just now had another battle where I was supposed to gain only 7 points, but now I have 1253 up from 1232, a gain of 21 points, or 14 more than I should have gained.
I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything special to make this happen. Is this some by-product of the ladder decay system being implemented? (Is there even a ladder decay system, I've never seen it confirmed?).
Now I feel kinda bad for making it to first place, lol.
Is anyone else experiencing this? What do you think?
EDIT: I'm out of town starting in a couple of hours, but I'll try to alert an admin or something before I go.
