I've heard this said before, but it's still just as wrong as the first time I heard it.
Beating 51 people @ an average of 20 points each wouldn't make anyone Conqueror, unless they were already close to that rank.
1020 points would make me just barely a colonel. Barely.
It would make a Major out of a Private First Class. Big deal.
It would make a Major into a borderline Brigadier, as happened with QoH when he won his great Battle Royale. That's probably the biggest gain possible.
A Field Marshall would probably make Conqeror if he won a BR, but he wouldn't be scoring 20 points per opponent. He'd probably be scoring 6 or 7 points per opponent, and would probably rise from 4600 points to about 4900 or 4950. So why shouldn't he? It's a big accomplishment to win a BR, and 350 points is not exactly life changing.
I'm told that it did happen, once upon a time in the early days of CC, that a player rose to Conqueror on the strength of a BR win. Once.... and that was before the 100-point limit. It's very misleading to frighten people with this buggaboo that Standard BR's are going to destabilize the scoreboard. It just isn't true.
