Many people have suggested a change where it would be possible to create games that filter out lower-level players, and while this has its benefits, it just doesn't make sense as it would segregate the CC community.
On the other hand, it still seems like a huge problem that I lost 57 points against two cooks and private, and won three games in a row before that for less than 57 points combined!!
There's gotta be a new way to do the calculations that narrows the margin of how much you can lose against lower ranked players, and how much they can win against you. It reminds me of driving games, where the player who is losing gets a boost to his speed to help him catch up. But what fun is that?! It's not real competition, it's charity for the less skilled and a stake in the back of true competitors. The only people who benefit are the ones who "just wanna have some fun" so they can feel good about playing. But the people who want to compete get screwed in the process.
I know other suggestions as this have been rejected in the past, but I am not asking for anything specific, just that it will be considered... that possibly, just maybe, there is another way to calculate points. And I don't know what that is.
So please, feel free to post your ideas and/or comments below. Thanks for all your hard work, Lacks.
One thing I ask of anyone posting in this topic is that you state your rank. Thank you.

If I lose to a cook then he either had better strategy than I had or had better luck. Either way it's a fair win as both elements are part of this game.
