Well Arno, here is the good news. With your current rating, you would need to lose to a 1245 rated player to lose 31 points in one game, and we do not have anyone rated that low in the league. And if we had (such a player), and you would (lose), then you probably would deserve to lose the 31 points.

No, we should not. Runs are rewarded with pins, ratings reflect games won or lost, no matter how it was achieved. Paul won his two singles games when rated 436 points higher than his opponent (gained 2 points in rating per game), and then lost his doubles with 369 points higher average rating than his opponents (lost 14 points in rating). Whether his partner screwed up in the doubles game, or Paul had a bad game after 2 great games, or they scratched on the 8, or their opponents played a great game, or... it does not matter, they simply lost the game.
