How do people get Tournament Leaderboard points and yet have Zero in the tournaments played column?

Thanks

Probably by hosting tourneys. I personally think that there sould be a seperate list for that, but who am I.

There are no points for hosting tournaments. The tournament leaderboard looks fine, to me, where points are concerned but the method of determining the number of tournaments appears to off.

I do not understand. If you look at the tounament points Leaderboard anf scoll down near the bottom you will find people with Points, such as Aeril, who have not played a game since 2010. For those of who like to play tournamants for points it really dilutes the meaning when no one can tell you how these people are getting points.

The points appear correct at least for those players who you can track through their medals.
