I suspect we actually missed the 1st week of Season 4 as we decided to play our 10 arena matches on a Wednesday so it may be week #3 or even #4. But for us it's week 2.I am still the arena nub and don't actually know for sure how arena points are calculated, how the +/- rating works or even if it's your last 10 matches or your best 10 matches or whatever that is used to calculate you rating/points for the week. Please can someone explain this?
So anyway. After last weeks 2-8 loss our rating was down to 1412 and we had accrued 247 arena points.
Match 1: Priest/Hunter - loss - 1396(-16)
Match 2: Priest/Hunter - WIN - 1413(+17) - Same team.
Match 3: Mage/Hunter - loss - 1399(-14)
Match 4: Rogue/Mage - loss - 1386(-13) - We took the mage down first just after TiceNits died and left me and the Rogue to duel it out, this took some time but he got me down when he was below 10%.
Match 5: Warlock/Shammy - WIN - 1400(+14) - This was very hectic and no tactics were involved. They both went down together leaving us both standing.
Match 6: Warlock/Hunter - WIN - 1415(+15) - Finally remembered to equip my PvP trinket
Match 7: Hunter/Pally - loss - 1401(-14) - The pally was expert with LoS we just couldn't get him down.
Match 8: Hunter/Priest - loss - 1385(-16) - I died closely followed by the priest, leaving the hunter with the most mana to win - not TiceNits.
Match 9: Rogue/Mage - WIN - 1400(+15) - Same team as match 4. The rogue vanished just before death then I died. TN finished off the rogue then wasted the mage.
Match 10: Warlock/Druid - loss - 1383(-17) - Absolute carnage.
So on aggregate we are down 29 rating points but we did win 4 matches this week and it was much more fun. I really must pick up some arena gear. I'm not sure about the reputation blues but I have some T4 tokens which apparently is now the only way you can buy season 1 gear. I also have lots of battleground marks and a huge stack of honour, that should get me some good stuff!

There is an arena calculator at worldofwarcraft.com that will give you the amount of points you will earn from a certain rating in 2v2,3v3, or 5v5. Also, you must doa minimum of 10 games as a team. You must also ahve 30 percent of the teams games to get points for the week. Basically, if you had 4 people on your 2v2 and played 10 games, you would need each person to have at least 3 games for each one to get points. You are matched against opponents based on your (and their) personal rating. If you face a team and the amount of points won/loss are very high or low, they are not near you in rating. A huge rating jump on a win means you beat a team with a much higher personal rating (usually when you gain more than 20 points). If you for example, lose 8 points when losing a match then the team is much higher rated. Use the exact opposite for teams the are rated much lower than you.
