Why are Other Events such as CPL qualifiers only given points to the top eight while WCG awards points per match?
For many of these tournaments, the high quality and caliber of the competition and the tournaments themselves absolutely required their inclusion. However, several factors contributed to a reduced emphasis in the Nations Ranking. Unlike the World Rankings, where teams recieved higher voting from representatives based on their performance in world-class events, the Nations Ranking is a measurement of a countrys participation and success in global competitions. Events such as the CPL qualifiers drew world-wide participation at nearly every single stop of the World Tour 2005. This same draw resulted in a massive amount of information which we had to sort through and an increasing number of events which needed to contribute to the ranking. A cut-off value was established for these events to prevent an unintentional bias and to prevent errorsSee Why are some events selected as Other Events above.
