I was at A+96 one win away from S with a sizable lead with about 40 seconds to go and we lost! I called it a day right after that. I went from A33 today to A+82 now. I'm going to strategically selected my next play session to give myself the best chance at S.
Next up is TC, Blackbelly and Urchin, I may do a one and done here, try the first match and if I lose wait it out until the absoltute optimum time and if I win go for S
@yokokazuo: where did you watch a Splatoon tournament? How was it setup? I was interested in the last direct when Nintendo mentioned they would show you how to setup our own tournaments online. Immediately I thought of another update to create tournaments in Splatoon. Is it too good to be true?

@Blue_Blur: Well it was it was quite the roller coaster. I won the first game to give me 92 points. One more win and I would be at S again. The teams were fairly well balanced (certainly by rank) and in the end we knocked them out on Blackbelly. Rank up right? WRONG! They gave me 6 points. 6!!!! I lost the next few matches and I went back to as low as A+50 I think it was. I one 3 or 4 in a row to get back to A+82 so I cashed in and called it a day. It was a wash in the end but the frustration was real

@wisdomsprince: Why should it? I'm pretty sure there will be an update to create tournaments, otherwise Bill Trinen's announcement wouldn't make sense. What confuses me though is that they did leave that out in the EU direct.
Think I'll be playing SZ shortly.
@wisdomsprince it was in the past videos in the link. They tend to be set up on Squidboards I think and they had it set up online through private rooms with one person hosting for 2 teams and some people streaming it.

WTF is wrong with this game? I had this a lot recently, but this time tops the bill. Just a few matches before we had lost with a Team of 2x A and 2x B+ against a team of 2x A and 2x A+. Still we lose 10 points!
But it got even worse in the last match: we (1x S, 1x A, 2x A-) lost against a team of 3x S and 1x B+. And you could immediately feel that they were better and deserved their ranks. So I would've expected -6 or so, but no, -10 again! How on earth is this possible? Sometimes it really feels like the rules for rank points are never actually applied but instead the game rolls a dice and then gives you random points. Not only to my misadvantage, it also happened to my advantage (+12 for no reason).
Feels like this has gotten worse since the last update (sursprisingly, matchmaking has become way better, this was my first real mismatch since the update).
@Aromaiden: You mean aside from tons of new gear, several new weapons, two new maps (one not released yet) and other modifications?
My GOTY? Legend Of Zelda: Splat of the child. Ah no, I meant LoZ: Breath of the SPLATOOOON!
@DefHalan: Speaking of which: Do you guys also hate it when the shield just crushes you although it even had your team's ink on it? They should fix that in my opinion. It doesn't make sense that you can die from your own rainmaker shield.
Lol. This time me team consisted of 1x A- and 3x A and the other team had 1xA+, 1x A- and 2y A. Guess what? We lost and it only cost -8. Why all of a sudden do we get less minus points for that when the rank differences were only marginal? Doesn't make sense.
@wisdomsprince: Which chock points do you mean? I think this has happened to me on various maps (this time on Arowana Mall). The worst thing about it is that you usually can't do anything to prevent that.
