I didnt finish my 12200 conquest cap last week and still i have normal 2200 cap this week, so all these points are lost?

Im not sure if theres anybody who understands, how this "catchup" works, but I dinged my dk like 3 days ago and received 12200 cap. My rogue 1 week 90 and 8200 cap. And my 87 shaman 12200 and even this week which should be at least +1000 is still at 12200.

But anyway, it seems like it was one week even and ppl who didnt cap it, they just lost their chance. Anybody on the same boat?

What is your season total earned on the characters in question?
Try making sure you use the following calculation to discover what your cap should be:
"(Week of season * 1000) - Total conquest points earned this season = Conquest cap"

Remember that if the result of this calculation is less than your Conquest cap calculated from your ratings, then the cap calculated from your ratings will be this weeks cap.... >.> ... <.< ... cap >.>

Artificiosus :
This is not right. My warlock did not get at least 1000 conquest points from last week, so at minimum it should have been 1800+1000 (+400 rbg) this week, a total (minimum) of 3200 this week.
We are in Week 12, so lets do the math for your cap.

(12 * 1000) - 10800 = 1200 - Done using the numbers you provided

This is working correctly; the catch-up system does not add to your cap based from rating, but replaces it. If your cap from rating is higher than that of the catch-up system, then your cap is based off your rating without adding in the remaining catch-up points. This means that this weeks cap is correct for you if your rating is around approximately 1650, with the numbers you provided.
