From what I understand bonus points accumulate at the same rate for everyone. I guess this is just to make sure that you get the sensation of progress (get more points) even if your skill is actually at the same level. I would rather have a system without bonus points, I get the feeling it would be easier to get a sense of when you're actually improving.

I dunno..... There's been a bunch of players I've faced that are fucking awful, but know some cheesy opening. And are at 1000 pt diamond. Then there are others that are legitimately difficult to beat without any cheesy strats, and they are so much tougher to face..... and are at like 400 pt diamond.....

On average, a 1000 point diamond player will be better than a 400 point diamond player. In fact, I'd be deeply embarrassed if I lost to any 400 point diamond player trying to play standard.
