Taking into account that every race I've participated in I've gotten first except for GTA IV which I got 2nd in (ended right after I joined the league).  I still don't think the race points mean much because they go into the overall points and some people here had a bunch of points before half the people even joined so it's all skewed.  If the race points were seperated from weekly gamerscore points I might agree with you but not with the way it is now.

The weekly gamerscore means absolutely nothing to me.  Honestly, I could get gamefly and have every new game sent to me, be 1,2, or 3 in points each week and win the majority of the races because I'd have each new game.  That doesn't take skill, it just takes access to the games. 

It's easy to explain why platinums would be the best at "true skill".  You are forced to beat everybody else who owns the game and you have to try to get every achievement, especially the hard ones that other people won't even try.  And I don't mean the games where 10 people have 1000, I'm talking about the ones that only one person has.

I like how there are different criteria for scoring the way it is now. I think everybody prefers different aspects over the league than others. If it was a case of something getting cut I would be willing to donate my time as well seeing as this is my main attraction to the forums here.

Step 1 buy yourself a copy of BJ Nuts and Bolts

Step 2 play the game and rack up at least 900 points to be garaunteed a spot on the 5

Step 3 Rinse and repeat on Left 4 Dead...

Step 4 You've realized you have no life, or that your life is connected to your gamerscore, must get more achievements!!!

You can also get league points by getting the most gamerscore in a week though you'll need to pull off numbers around 800-1300 depending on how nice Sleepwaker feels.

@Erikers you better aim for 1000/1000 on BK Nuts and Bolts if you want to take pry first from my hands!! Though at the rate your going you probably will....

Well surely races aren't that hard to do, you just find the top 6 at the end of the time period, and so someone else could take that responasability.

The workload with platinums could be reduced if you have to PM whoever takes over the league to notify them of the platinum to reduce the workload

Woo seen as hardly anyone is playing MK VS DC I should come first. I'm getting left 4 Dead pretty soon too ..

^I think you need a minimum of 10 for the race to count...that being said anyone else getting Last Remnant? So far there's 6 racing in it (including me).

Most reviews haven't exactly been 100% positive, and the graphical problems would annoy me so very much (and loading times), so I'm hoping the issues will be fixed in the PS3 version

I should have my copy from Amazon.com in a couple of days. Hopefully this race is salvageable.

I see what you are saying.  I'm just saying Plats don't give any points at all, so unless that is changed they are useless.  Other aspect is ANYONE can easily pull up the league page on mygamerscore and find their own games to see who is in first place.  So having someone tasked with collecting all of that just to post it for others to read, who could read it themselves, is rather pointless.  It's basically a system of meaningless trophies (since only races contribue points not plats) Also I see how it is somewhat a measure of true skill but I think it just depends. 

For instance what if you have the most points in games that aren't tracked?  Those games counted for none of your skill?  See, it doesn't make any sense. 

Furthermore, I applaud anyone who maxes out most games to 1000 but I'm not sure that proves overall they are better than someone who doesn't but plays three times more games because you have account for experience and with every single game that a person doesn't play while focusing solely on maxing the games they do have is a game with technically "0" points they have.  So how do you balance that and say one person is better than another. In that regard you could buy an Xbox max one game... BOOM 100 percent completion rate.  That doesn't mean you are more skilled (not you erikers, just you in general, I'm not doubting your skill)  I don't know if that made any sense, I'm in a hurry to get back to work.

Look, overall, Plats=no points or influence on league ranking.  Either we change that (which I still argue is unfair, to pick and choose games and not account for all games) or we "trim the fat" so to speak and free up time for the moderators of this fine leauge.

@Munkeh I haven't received my copy yet (still in the mail), but I'll play almost any JRPG these days.

@Badgenome with you that should bump it up to 7, I'm wondering if there's any more cheap gamers that bought it off Amazon and took the free shipping option.

@Kowenicki well perhaps there is still hope for you, have you ever played WoW, D2, WC3, or Starcraft extensively? Perhaps you can end up half dead...skip to 2:55
