Odd number of VP

Just wondering. I noticed lately that there were some players in the silver league contests that have an odd number of victory points. If you receive 2 points for each win how is this even possible?

Losing an attack doesn't lose points, it is being attacked while off line or losing a challenge that loses point.
Ok, I misunderstood, but that still doesnt make sense as I havent been attacked since the new league event started, and I started the morning out with an even # VP, up until I went 2 play at lunch...
I just chkd my challenge log and i was only challenged once, but that was 7 dys ago. What actually doesnt make sense now is that my defense did lose a couple hrs ago, but i still have an odd # VP.
Did you loose any PvP battles? It could be awarding/subtracting a single point for a LOSS.
No, however, if u look at my 1st post above, right b4 I started playing ystrdy at lunch, it showed I lost an attack (but wasnt playing yet) which mayb u know the answer to...how is that possible?
Got me ... how someone could start off losing a battle unless it was due to a RESTART, but that doesn't make sense either.
The strange thing about it too, is that it didnt use up any energy, bc when I started playing just a minute or 2 aftr this 'strange loss', i still had 3 energy.
When checking your battle log, if you have lost a defensive battle, you will see that you have lost a point, as can be seen above.
I think the reason that we are noticing more players with an odd point total in League play is because it has become a tactic that more and more players are resorting to because of GLU misguided change to League play. Because nobody wants to finish 1st any more, the battle is now for 2nd place.
Having an odd number of points gives a player a huge advantage on the scoreboard. Think about it, usually we see the leader with say 86 points. Then we see 4-6 players with 84 points, because they do not want the top prize. When you have an odd number, then you can battle until you have 85 points, and now you are all alone in 2nd place.
Therefore, it behooves a player to intentional go offline in the hopes that they will be attacked and will suffer a defensive loss. Instead of the occasional player with an odd score, I am starting to see 3, 4, 5 or more players having the odd score in the leagues that I have been competing in.
How ever, following the TOO BAD strategy of not trying to win any weapon in league makes the league scoreboard and the point total a moot point.
