Passive skill point gain from matches are NOT doubled, this is to discourage AFK farming.
Let's see... So, this isn't a double SP event, or even close. It's more like an extra 5% SP per battle.
Unless you are averaging one kill every 10 seconds, this won't even be an extra 50% SP per battle.
The only thing with a significant effect this event, is the SP cap is doubled.

Because even if someone is working as hard as they can, roughly 95% of their SP in battle will be from the time spent in battle, as opposed to the warpoints.
So, reducing that by half, and doubling the WP SP, would be basically cutting off ALMOST 50% of the SP earned per battle.

Okay, I think I understand your confusion.
There are two sources of SP
Passive, which you accrue over time, at 1000 per hour, in combat, out of combat, logged in, logged out, whatever.
And active, which you recieve at the end of a battle.
For the ACTIVE portion, it is further divided into two parts.
Battle time, and Warpoints.
The battle time portion is what the OP is referring to by "passive" You simply earn 5 WP per second in battle (until you hit cap)
The warpoint portion is you get 1 SP per WP in battle. Even if you have reached weekly cap, you still recieve this, (up to 1000 per battle)
What the OP is saying, is the WP portion is doubled. Now, the WP portion is almost negligable compared to the battle time portion, so doubling it won't do much.
the TRUE passive SP is untouched.
