I just looked at my results today and found that I again lost credit. The same thing happened a few months ago where I suddenly lost over half my credit. Fortuniately, I got it returned. I had a total credit of 67,363.00 and now found today that I have 57,523.35. My world rank also went from 183 to 199. Also, I wish the Teams would be totally removed from the Top Participants and into strickly a Team catagory. Of course they are going to rank high vs. individuals such as myself. |

I also lost 10000, undeserved credits. |

> Will this happen to everyone? > Yes. But as the extra credit was random, which was why there were so many complaints about it, not everybody benefitted. So the recalculation will hurt some people but not others, hence the change in rankings. The new calculation should be fair to everyone. |

............ But things got mixed up on the way it seems. I can see new trickles coming in but the credit does not rise. Also since this change the Average credit seems to be frozen even if your credit rises and the rankings on the team page are all mixed up, also you cant sort them any more. Maybe it is more fair but not trustable or reasonable any more. So, is that a step forward or a step back actually? |

OK, That explains some tings, but what about the frozen "recent average credit"? As I look at my team it seems to hapen to everyone. It doesn't move in either direction. |

But RAC doesn't have much significance for CPDN because of th way credit is granted, even though it features in league tables. |
