It doesn't inspire any extra competition to get better if it is just the top 5. Those who would be in the top 5 would basically already be in the SoCal PR.
1. Zhu
2. Kira
3. Connor
4. Psychomidget
5. MacD
Or something roughly like that, I'm not sure. Zhu, Kira, and Connor are already on the SCPR and Cameron was once on them. MacD is...well, MacD.
But, on the other hand, how would you determine the bottom 5 anyways? Would it be simply from tournament brackets? What if someone is dealt an easy bracket while someone else is dealt a hard one. Hypothetically, let's say that Jkun and I are at an equal skill level. But let's say Jkun gets a bracket in which Mango knocked Connor down to loser's bracket first round and Jkun loses to Kira. Jkun is eliminated right away. Let's say, I on the other hand, get a bunch of people around my skill level and make it through 4 rounds, only to get my rear handed to me by the same people Jkun lost to. Tourney results wouldn't help to show much there.
If we were to do any PR at all, I propose a challenge system. Instead of challenging for money (MM), one can challenge for points. This is how it would work:
1. You can only challenge the same person once every month.
2. When you win against someone your skill, you get one point. If you lose, you lose 1/2 a point.
3. You cannot go below 0 in points.
4. If you beat someone of lower skill, you get a fraction of a point. For example, if #1 beats #30, #1 only receives 1/4 of a point or something to that effect.
5. If you beat someone of higher skill, you get more points. (Self-explanatory)
6. Normal tourney rules apply.
Tell me if there would be any quirks that would be wrong with this.
