The only thing I don't understand is how does the current system measure skill if loses don't affect you.
Players obsessions with reaching the top of a flawed system is more cancerous than anything in the spar community. I'm pretty sure Brett enjoys being stalked by obsessive derpys in an attempt to leech off his points.
Last thing, these 2 systems have been around for a while and no one has gotten a reputation of a skilled sparer from them.
