The number is not so important, it just has to work out so that the penalty for failing to complete the requirement is greater than the risk of losing all the matches. Otherwise people will avoid taking the risk. So for example, let's say the requirement to avoid the penalty is 5 matches per day, and failing to complete this is -100. You have to weigh this against the risk of losing all 5 of those matches. So if you lose 15-20 points per loss, you may decide that it's better to just not queue as the difference is not very much. Whereas if it was say -200 it's definitely better to do the 5 matches. So yeah it doesn't have to be -1000 but you see the issue.
