Firstly, a completely random number between 0 and .9 is generated, multiplied by the day of the month and rounded off.

I am just curious as to know how the rating system work. if anyone could explain I would be appreciated
If you draw the affect on your rating is minimal.
If you lose to someone lower than you, you drop heavily, if you lose to someone higher than you, you drop a bit.
The most you can go up or down in one game is 32 rating points.
Finally like all good statistical formulae it works. If you play honestly and regularly you will find your rating tracks your skill level accurately. You will no longer be a name but a number +/- 50
