We had a point system Rilla came up with when we had ranked fights so long ago. I never judge characters only the writer. A character is only as good as their writer.

What was Rilla's system like? 

I may have subconsciously taken my cue from it.

I wouldn't mind points. That way if you're epically winning every battle then just lose one battle you won't go down a place. Winning the battle would get you a certain amount of points and you can get bonus points through other means. You can loose points for randomly dropping out, loosing the match (of course), refusing to get hit to a questionable degree, etc. If you are a great sport during the battle then you might not lose that many points if your character loses.

The root of my system was more the idea that even a person that loses can still have put a reward-worthy battle. 

The way I had constructed it involved a point-value per participant in a battle. A standard one vs. one in yhis was worth ten points (five points per participant). At the end of the battle, whether via a player being defeated or a judge calling the match, the players would be awarded their share of the total ten points ascribed to the battle. 

The plan also involved larger point sums for tournaments and any 'special condition' battles that myself or the other manager could have come up with.
