Read the FAQ. Once you finish 20 games ratings will 'normalize'. Right now, you are working a special formula to get to a rating rather than needing to complete several games to climb (or sink) to your true rating.

See my rating graph, I started before the new rule and did a slow climb to my true rating.

Nevermind, you can no longer see my starting graph.
