I like to think that I don't get too uptight about my CR and how bad it is.

However, I am confused as to if it is possible to get into a negative spiral from which you cannot escape.

Point in question

http://fumbbl.com/~Bloodoholic

CR 141.61 but has 50% wins.

I think what I am asking is how can I improve my CR, just a little, from it's 141.51.

And winning games against higher CR coaches and higher TS teams will increase it faster.

There´s no such thing as a negative spiral. In fact, when your CR is low, it will rise a lot more if you win, for example, against a coach with 150 CR than if you had 150 yourself. Just cherrypick some topcoaches - if you lose, your CR won´t drop a lot while it will skyrocket if you win. Wink
But don´t worry about CR too much - as you learn and get better at playing, it will eventually rise.
As a sidenote, win % doesn´t mean a lot for CR... I have 53% win percentage and my CR should be around 165 at the moment. It rather reflects how you were doing in the last hmm 20-30 games.

If you want to raise CR even faster then you can play in ranked tournaments like smacks for example. the risk is that you can also drop CR faster if you loose (but as stated above with low cr you have less to loose)

on another note:
if you modify your profile info from
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=coach&op=development&coach=0&coach2=39984
to
<a href="http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=coach&op=development&coach=39984">CR Graph</a>

then you'll get a nice little link for everyone to click on Smile

^ is the modifier to the cr you'll get using specific races against other races at various tr's.

winning half your games does not help CR (much).

Either: they got those wins outside Ranked.

Or: they got those wins against easy opponents (and got beat by easy opponents)

Doesnt do any thing.... wrong! its used by the RNG to calculate your dices.... the higher CR the better the dicerolls.
So you should improve your Cr right away!

It affects where you get seeded in certain tournaments doesn't it?

While it's low you get the highest ranked coach in the first round.
