They don't matter. They are just for bragging rights. Or at least I don't think they are used for anything.

I'm in the 7,000's and occasionally get paired up with other 7,000's and once a 9,000. But even in those races I have people under 5,000 racing. In my experience, people are terrible online. If I want a decent race I usually have to set up a room and have several friends jump in.

Whether or not they actually matter, the fact they exist make online really addictive to me, haha. I keep telling myself "I just have to break even and I'll stop playing." *20 rounds later; still playing*

:P

I think, it matches you up with your rank, but since it was just released, most ppl are in the 5000's.

Usually when I play online with average players (worldwide or regional) we play at 100cc non-mirrored courses. When I play with a group of more skilled players (worldwide/regional, 6500pts+) we play on 150cc courses and sometimes mirrored courses. So, its mostly for bragging rights, but I think it also determines the difficulty of the course you play in. I dunno...

The only thing I hate about these points is how quickly they decrease.

I was in a race with 8 people and I got second place and I lost 250 points!

The only mirrored tracks I've played so far have been randomly selected while playing worldwide or regional VS matches online.

To the TC: Yeah, if you reach 9,999 VR and 9,999 BR points, Nintendo sends you a letter.
