This is what I understand about Win-trading:
1. There are two teams. Each team wants to get points. Team A and Team B.
Team A consists of 5 mains + 5 alts
Team B consists of 5 mains + 5 alts
2. Everyone use the addon (DBM) that tells you what arena you are getting into when the queue pops up
3. Both teams log on late at night
4. Team A, uses their mains
5. Team B, uses their alts
6. Both teams queue at the same time
7. If they both get the same arena, then they both join, otherwise they requeue.
8. Team A (mains) beats Team B (alts) for X number of games
9. Now the teams switch. Team A logs on alts, Team B logs on mains
10. Same procedure, Team B beats Team A X number of games.
Anyways what happens is that one team beats the alts of the other team in order to boost their team rating. Then the teams switch and the same thing happens again. Alts are used to loose with because then personal ratings of the mains is not affected.
Anyways this is what I've always understood about win-trading. However one thing that confuses me:
Team A defeats Team B 10 times.
Team B defeats Team A 10 times.
After those 20 games, wouldn't the team ratings for both teams be RIGHT back where they started? If both teams start at 1500, arean't they going to end at 1500?
