Ladder Board Ranking Thing Helpzz T^T

I'm sure someone's used to this kind of thing;;
So apparently, the new ladder system doesn't seem to work too well.
I don't mind it being absolutely inefficient, but the equation seems broken.
You seem to lose A LOT when you lose against an opponent on the same tier as you (which is bad).
The good thing is that when you lose to a much higher tier, you don't lose much, and when you lose to a lower tier, you lose quite a bit. OK;;
but the fact that you lose about 2 times the amount you would get from beating a guy on the same tier as you when you lose to the guy on the same tier sounds a bit harsh...
We'll probably run out of the numbers then lol

This is the equation as of now:
winr: new pt = curr + K(1 - opp.tier)
loser: new pt = curr + (winner's K)(0 - opp.tier)

[[opp.tier stands for opponent's tier value]]

K and tier values depend on tiers:
A tier, K=10, tier value .2
B tier, K=16, tier value .2
C tier, K=24, tier value .5
D tier, K=32, tier value .7
E tier, K=32, tier value .9
If you think about it, it's kinda stupid too.
Can someone fix up this formula? :D

you mean the ladder matches?
they were added. you had 132 (i think), lost two matches, and dropped down to 109 sadly :(

oh is that what happened? well what I meant was I had no idea how to help you. I don't think we should loose points for loosing.... Also, when you're on, we should be able to have official matchs which add to our ladder score. But we would need your schedule for that....

alright, maybe XD
I did hold "ladder match" dates 2 time so far, but it's too less frequent, and not efficient.
the first one turned out horrible, the second one wasn't too good either.
Maybe from now on i'll just log on at certain periods of time and give u guys those times :| hm;;
