Re: Ranking Points in Steamworks unclear

I too would agree. The game manual seems to contradict it self.

Section three reads as follows

Quote:
Alliances are seeded in the Qualification tournament using ranking points which are awarded based on a combination of their Win-Loss-Tie record (2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie), the number of times they reach a 40 kilo Pascal (kPa) pressure threshold (1 point), and the number of times they start all rotors (1 point).
correct me if I'm wrong but it would appear that according to this every 40kPa earns a ranking point.

However, Table 4-1 says
Quote:
If ALLIANCE exceeds a threshold pressure of 40 kPa - 1 RP
This implies that you can only receive 1 RP at most through means of pressure.
