Unexpected AW season reward question

When my alliance finished the last war of the season yesterday, we were squarely in the middle of the Gold 3 bracket. There were about 750 alliances between us and both Silver 1 and Gold 2. However, when the rewards came in today, we found ourselves in Silver 1. We'd fallen somewhere around 700 places.

I've never seen this happen before. I've seen our score change slightly after our last war score has come in, but not by half a bracket's worth of places.

So my question is, how could this happen? Has anyone had the same thing happen to them, either now or in the past? The reason for the question is that the only times I can ever remember seeing alliances fall this hard is when they've cheated and have been docked a lot of points. Are there any other possibilities? I hate that I'm now suspecting that someone in my alliances might have cheated and caused us to drop, but I'm really struggling with coming up with another reason for this massive drop.

If this cheating was to be the case, how do I as the leader of the alliance rectify it? Are alliances notified of members cheating? I don't have any previous experience with whatever system is in place (since we don't cheat). However, I don't want to be left in the dark if there is someone who has been dragging us down.

Conversely, if alliances are notified of cheating if it happens, and we haven't received a notification, then I can feel relieved that nothing of the sort has occurred and that something else is amiss. But at least that would settle the most worrisome aspect of all of this and I can go back to fully trusting everyone in my alliance again.

    You are not notified when someone has cheated. You are just docked points because someone was using a mod or piloting. It's really hard to find the offender in these instances.

    Did you check the standings immediately after your war ended? It takes a few hours for all wars to get wrapped up and points tabulated correctly.

    Sounds liek got docked bud. Keep an eye out on your members if they suddenly go inactive.

    I checked right after our last war ended, which was about 11 hours before the season as a whole ended. At that point we were right in the middle of Gold 3. I'm used to points shifting a little after that (which makes it anxious if you're right on the cusp of falling down), but I've never fallen that hard before.

    If someone actually cheated, hopefully they were at least banned. If someone suddenly stops showing up in the future, they're out.

    Do you know what your points total was right after you completed the war and what it is now? If there is any disparity, maybe your points got docked(assuming kabam actually deducts points for cheating and not just push you down the standings). Other then that I don’t think there is a way to find out if you got docked.
