or even better - link to the FAQ which answers the question, rather than simply link to another thread which does not.

Maybe it would be easier to just say, "Read the FAQ"

😴 Yeah, I get that whole part...my question was regarding the points equation. Specifically, if I lose to someone with a p1320 rating does that mean I'm deducted points as if I'd played a 1200 player? The answer is obviously 'yes' according to the FAQ. I just had trouble getting my head around the inequity. Sorry for bothering all the code talkers out there.
