Fair dos, ranking is a tricky beast. I suppose proportional ranking was abandoned as the events with a smaller number of teams wouldn't have been as attractive to the top teams?
Personally I'd have started at a "winner's score" of 100 (or whatever was above X number of teams) and then removed 1 point per place (multiple points for joint places) until the last placed team? The growing decrease in point allocation is arbitrary and makes for an inaccurate mid-table (could be wrong here)? Plus tournaments with a poor showing would be more attractive to teams (top teams too)? Basically it's proportional ranking flipped up-side-down to weight low-attendance tournaments as attractive and high-attendance tournaments as unattractive (makes sense if it's about participation/growing the UK scenes/etc).
All food for thought for next year and thanks for sorting it out in the first place Josh/Mark.
