If you beat a player, the site adds 400 points to their rating and gives you that rating. As you play games, an average is arrived at. If you play higher rated players and win your rating will go up. It's wierd i know, i thought the same thing when i arrived. Fear not, it only lasts 20 games, then your rating will just go up if you win and down if you loose 😉
I still don't understand. These are my results so far:
1 win against acastano rated 1442
2 wins against phonusbolonus rated 1173
1 Win against BHSFootball24 rated 1103
1 Win against Beste rated 1055
1 Win against Charlie2000 rated 1189
1 Win against Der Komische rated 1200
1 loss against Knight Time rated 1676
The rating progression doesn't make sense: I lost against Knight Time and the rating dropped (that's fine) I won another game and increased again but then I won another game and my rating went down again! Is this right?
Originally posted by AlopintoIt is correct. Your rating is provisional until 20 games have been completed. Until then your rating will be very erratic. There is a section in the help files for you to look at. There it describes provisional ratings.
