The league is very good feature,  but I recommend chess.com split categories because blitz players will be always on the top   comparing rapid players

Agree?

No, that isn't correct. Earlier the top Stone player has most of their league points from Rapid and Arenas. For many people, blitz will probably have a slight edge but 10|0 games will likely be the bulk to get the most in that case.


You can get a lot of points in any of the format; you can verify that by the leaderboards.

Top 1 in my League play only rapid.  He have 2925 points and 625 point of rating. He He loses games on purpose and trying to farm league points. Is it fair play?

No, if that's really happening, it's not and should be reported

I prefer rapid because it's less stressful and if you win material early in the game you can kinda relax knowing you have 15 points coming your way.

OP is right about it not being fair.

In 1 hour, a maximum of 20 blitz games can be played. If I win all of them, I get 180 points (20 x 9).

In 1 hour, a maximum of 6 rapid games can be played. If I win all of them, I get 90 points (6 x 15).

It is most certainly harder for rapid players to gain points at the same rate as blitz or bullet players in the same league. Just by the numbers, it looks to be twice as hard.

Think about both sides, half it and subtract about 2 minutes from each game assuming you don’t always flag

Most logical would be to award 2*(x + y) points for a win in x|y time control and x + y for a draw.

There is a player who asks for draws in the beginning to get free points, is that legal?
