I don't trust the result....the old one had a better respectability, because i went on how the duel went.
it was like this~
Win-lose-win
win-win
lose-lose
win-lose-win
lose-win-lose
the old one made points based on that~
but i still understand your rules on the duel and testing, in my opinion its still the same....
it cuts out the idea of respect in the duel though, and it deletes the idea that someone was chatting through the duel yet wasn't concentrating. sure i have issues there but i still do.
It also removes uniquness, the old one offer 2 points if the testee uses a unique deck like so:
Commonly used deck = 0
common but changed = 1
uncommon deck that's barely used = 2

this is just my opinion but the fact that last night (Aus EST) there was about 10(+) people online, makes me happy.
