Re: quick question as a newbie
RP stands for ranking points. If I remember correctly, you get 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie, and 0 for a loss.

In the qualifying match standings, you are ranked into "tiers" by how many "ranking points" you have. Then you are ranked by what your average "match points" are witch is the score of the losing alliance.

So, first, it is most important to win. Then it is important for your opponents to score highly (but not so high that they beat you)
