I think I lost like 100 or so. I barely had any points when I got promoted as the game had been out for like 2 weeks.

I have a theory that when you get promoted you end up with the exact amount of points that are in the general bonus pool. It seems to have happened each time I am promoted. Can anyone else attest to this?

I actually gained some points at promotion one time. I'll edit if I can find it on sc2ranks.

Granted, this is 4v4, but it's still the same system, right? My rating went up went I went from Gold to Platinum, although it went down for Diamond.
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.

i believe that the points you get after promotion are based on where you fit MMR wise into your division. Therefore you could technically gain points if the system put you into a division with high point players with lower MMR than you.

i might be talking out of my ass tho
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

SC2ranks don't have the exact moment you got promoted. It will state that you got promoted when he sees that last time it checked you were on another league, but it doesn't mean that the points it shows are accurate. It's better than nothing and for some people it might actually be accurate, specially the ones after dec 18, so I am trying to use it to see the pattern.

What could I grasp till now:


As I have no way to guarantee that the numbers you give me are perfect, it gets harder to be precise, but it seems the leagues offsets are around 180 points till platinum. Then it changes drastically for diamond, cause people that will get promoted to rank S divisions will lose more than 500 points, but people that will get promoted to rank e divisions will lose only 180 or so. That means indeed that we can estimated the division rank by points lost on promotion, though I still don't know what are the magic numbers.

Please, feed me with good data :D

OP, I hope you aren't planning on trying to use points as some sort of insight into how Blizzard ranks you. They have said themselves that points are just a carrot and have no bearing on anything. It's designed so that the person who plays the most will climb to the top of their little division. Your hidden MMR is what matters.

Don't worry, I understand that. (I've read the Excalibur_Z's thread and even contributed a little)

But if you discount the bonus pool it's a really good, though not perfect, guess.

Also, do you see all these players that went straight into diamond from bronze?? The system do take his time to promote and demote players, but that doesn't mean you aren't on that level just yet.

What I'd like to do is:

Players Points - Spent Bonus Pool + Leagues and Divisions Offsets = the closest thing to (Imperfect) MMR as we can possible get

PP - SBP + L&DO = IMMR

This person is the closest thing as good data I've found on sc2ranks:

http://www.sc2ranks.com/team/9586520

Why is it a good sample?

1) The "pictures" were taken from hours (instead of days or weeks) of difference, getting more reliable.

2) It's from a know division (Rank S), which means we already know half the math.
