  1. i am ot a master but i lack 4.70 gold/red to get to the level before the master title. will this be stratified? I have 480 black points

  2. The 2000 MP for Unlimited is very low by todays standards. It should be at least 3500. I play in a club in New Jersey and almost all of the people who have played for a few years have over 3000 to 3500 MP. Even those players who are "not he best" have over 2000.
