  In the last month I noted that my average was going up very easily and not down as well. Between yesterday and today, without scoring anything exceptional, my average went down 0.20, when a 28, usually, causes a rebate of no more than 2 cents. The chances are two: before yesterday the calculation was wrong and now is right, or viceversa? Unless there is a bug, like that one with e-mails. The e-mails don't come for days and then arrive all togheter, so the average accumulates points and then applies them in one shot! I'd like to know what's going on? Tks, byeeee

  Another hypothesis: I've heard that now, if you win a bracket, you get XP points, helping you to climb levels. As well I know that mp won affect the average, but I never noticed changing in the average. Between yesterday and today I won 2 brackets, one mp challenge, one alternate and two strokes. Are they the reasons why the average lowered so much? Tks, bye

  Classic case of just hit saturation as a wild guess.

  A TL saturated average has no place to go except down as it's only an average of your best ever 500 counting RRs. E,G, Early doors after saturation shooting a 70 could easily push it down if that 70 pushes out say an 80.........

  Yes it will, until you have erased all those "very high" scores.

  Rumour! Never heard of that.

  This is only true if you are below Legend tier.

  Thus, it's not a mystery nor a bug, only saturation as Jim stated.
