I disagree somewhat. In previous years missing a match didn't mean too much for ranks. I remember a match 1766 couldn't make due to robot fixes. After that round of matches, we went up in ranks. I studied the ranks and noticed something. A team that wins 2 and loses 3 is ranked lower then a team that wins 2 loses 2. This means that missing a match you lose would raise your rank even though you'd lose rank points. I realize this doesn't work for this years game...and am disappointed that it was true for previous years. However, it is true. I've yet to hear of a team that has actually used such a strategy due to the ethics of doing it on purpose.
