Now that I understand how the actual ratio is calculated, would it be a single section like how it is, or would it be divided into day/week/total?

I think it'd just be best as a seasonal 3-month thing, like it is right now. The daily/weekly stuff works well for PKing and towers and should probably be kept there, because sparring is really different. I personally wouldn't feel encouraged to top a leaderboard that only lasts a day or a week.
If we're not going to do spar hats and we're going to completely neglect singles sparring, then why not offer a seasonal hat prize to the winner of each sparring season? I guarantee if spar hats or if a hat prize for a sparring season that promotes
activity was announced, the Battle Arena would probably double in size. People are just so bored with how plain it is.

If a player with a high ratio loses to a player with a low ration, would they lose the same points as if a player with a low ratio lost to the same person?
Ex: You lost to a 1-2 person and x points are taken off your score. Someone that is 5-1 loses to the same person, would the same points be taken off their score?

No. One of the core elements of the idea is that you don't lose points, ever. You only have the potential to gain them. I think the main issue with the leaderboard structure as of today is the fact that you can get up to a high enough amount of points, and then it's like, "Well, I can win 20 spars and then lose 1 and only gain 5 points. Is it even worth the risk to keep sparring?"
If you structure it so that there is absolutely no potential to lose points in any circumstance, it has to encourage active sparring. The consequence to just brainlessly queuing 24/7 and losing a lot is that your spar record in your profile will be awful, and no one wants that. There's still incentive to not lose. When you lose, you're ruining your personal spar record and gaining 0 points for the effort.
