So, imagine a game of basketball. Normally in basketball, you can have 5 players on the court at a time. This team has 20. It is playing against mostly only 4 and 5 man teams, with the occasional 8 to 10 man teams, and somehow it still can't manage to utterly dominate. (Oh right, I forgot to mention that it is also paying off a bunch of teams not to compete against it, so that the quality problems won't be obvious.) Yeah, it will almost certainly win the tournament, because its numbers mean it hardly matters how much most of its players suck. Winning the tournament solely because you have a much larger team than anyone else is worthless. Yeah, it will show up on your Greposcore. Frankly this is good, because now everyone will know who not to invite into future decent alliances. A crown from Pagasae will be a black mark of shame among players who know how to fight. The only sad thing is that only 35 players will get it, which will leave a ton of players that should be marked but are not. (But then, the players who didn't get the crown will be easy enough to identify by their whining that they got lied to and ripped off by those who did get it.)
