Match win points are awarded for each match won in the tournament, so in a tournament with a larger draw, this allows the players to get more points for winning more matches. (Ex: player A plays a GP tournament and plays 4 matches to win it, he receives 40 points on top of the 150 for winning. Player B plays a GP tournament but plays 5 matches to win, they would receive 50 extra points.)
