• The formula that determines spar rating has been changed to reflect active skill. Spar ratings have been reset in order to accommodate for this. Spar wins and losses will not be reset.
• Brand new players can no longer participate in sparring at SuperNick's Spar Arena until they have experience on the server. New players will still be able to spar in the practice spar arenas.

Players can no longer reset their spar rating through transferring a noob account to themselves, spar a few times, and end up at the top of the list. They can no longer gain a few points and only spar once to keep their rank at the top.

In addition to this, nobody can use noob accounts to spar on as alternatives to protect their statistics on their main accounts as you need experience before you can spar. This also prevents players from changing their UDID's, sparring, and merging their statistics through VIP if their wins are good enough for them.

• Competitive sparring is limited to SuperNick's Spar Arena in Graal City. All other spar arenas can be used for practice and no longer affect wins, losses or spar rating.
• Guild houses no longer distribute spar rating.

Players can't go into another room and lame spar wins, or their guildhouse to lame spar points. The scope of "competitive sparring" is all in one place, so it is easier for both the staff and the players to identify someone who is doing something illegitimate.

• Players who "pause" and lock their iDevices now distribute spar rating.

Players who pause to keep their spar rating untouched when they're losing aren't able to anymore.  

great update just what i wanted, stupid bomb hurting me  

How does the game judge when a new player has enough experiance to enter the competitive spar?  

Seems to be a very nice update. Will check it later on though

• Map has been disabled in all spars.

What do you exactly mean? Or is it just a repeated part of the point that it´s limited to SuperNick´s?

But yeah, winstreaks should eventually become hats.

No, there should be a scoreboard in my oppinion.  

@Cal... It means you can't use the map in a spar arena. I thought that was pretty obvious.

Ah lol. Seems useless to me and I thought it was disabled anyway so I didn´t think of that. Also I just have been online randomly in the last month.  

Awsome Update. I love the one with the win streak.
Why not add the Spar Hats to the battle arena or this Dojo, when the chance of boosting is minor now.
