I know there must be other threads about this - but cant find the answer. Considering the a provisional player's rating is in great change for the first 10-20 games, is my rating change calculated differently? i.e. at the time of the match, a provisional opponent is rated at 1200, and 2 days later it is 1400 (made up examples). Is my rating change still calculated using the 1200 rating?

I believe the formula uses half points for rated players, double points for provisionals.
So, if a provisional was going to gain 20, the player would get 40. If you were going to lose 20, you will lose 10.
The FAQ is under help, or site map... and a few other places here at RHP.

ie. From the rating at the end of the game.

welcome to the help forum. I hope you enjoy your time in here, and I hope you find it a fruitful experience. Should you not find the answer you're looking for, I find sending feedback can be a great help.
How're your pets? Good, I hope. Enjoying the summer so far?
The rating is still calculated at the end of the game, but as stated in the FAQ, the calculation for provisional games is a little different.
Hope this helps, my friend.

Ragnorak and that Phlab guy really know the RHP system and you can pretty much trust just about anything they tell you in the help forum as far as help.
They might not have the social graces or politcal correctness to make your trip threw the help forum feel like a acid trip tip-toeing threw tulips with butterflys all around. ( even thow it looks alot like Ranorak was trying.) But they do take the time to help. And I very rarely ever even see a thank you for their time.
But they still keep helping people. So they really are friendly helpful chappy's.
