Yeah, I proposed this exact idea a while back. SP rollover from each day until a defined day of the week, in which it will be reset. Rinse and repeat.
It's a pretty great idea and would appease both sides of the party. |

It's a pretty great idea and would appease both sides of the party. Daily cap that is reset everyday, IF you play, rolls over if you don't play. Resets every Tuesday like weekly cap did. Job sorted. Everybody happy. 
Not sure about the 'if you play' part. Cause what exactly does that mean for the SP that rolled over from say, 3 days worth? Is it all reset too even if you only play one match that night? Or does it only reset the ~27k from the daily allotment and the rest that rolled over, will continue to roll over?
IMO that is a bit too convoluted. I think whether you play or not, any unearned SP should rollover to the next day until the weekly reset. |

It wouldn't matter if somebody played from the beginning or got all the SP at the end, the numbers would be identical. Why would you think they would be different?
Think about it, lets say you played every day and reached the cap of 27k (rounded from 27.2k to make example easier).
Monday - 27k
Tuesday - 27k
Wednesday - 27k
Thursday - 27k
Friday - 27k
Saturday - 27k
Sunday 27k
----------------------Total = 189k
Now lets say you only play one day, and it's the last day before the reset, Sunday. So you grind all day long and at the end, reach the rolled over SP from 6 days plus the 7th days cap. Which would be 189k SP.
No difference. |

If you don't play one day then that 27K is rolled over to the next, if you play one or two games on any given day, then you forfeit your roll over and restart at yr 27K base earning the next day. Simples.
I think you missed what I was talking about.
Here is an example. Lets say I do not play at all for 3 days (from the start of the week). Ok, so that now means on the 4th day, I will have all the past days SP rolled over plus the 4th days cap. Each day nets 27k, so 4 days worth would be 108k cap total on the 4th day.
Now lets say on that 4th day I only play a few matches and unexpectedly have to stop playing for whatever reason. With your system you are suggesting all the previous rollover, that wasn't earned, be forfeited during that days reset. Which would mean on the 5th day I would only have 27k in my SP 'pool'.
Sorry, but no. The very simple idea presented by the OP is flawless.
