Originally posted by FabianFnasIf you look in the FAQ you can find "I just won a game. Why has my rating gone down?" and then right below the answer to that question you can find the formula for provisional players and the exact reason that your rating can go down which I'll note you didn't provide.

Gator2 - Your rating is provisional until you've played 20 games. In your profile you can read the explanation: "Ratings may appear erratic until this time."
Originally posted by kmac27If you're not provisional, you will never lose rating points in a winning game. I think you will allways gain at least one point, but I'm not 100% sure.
say i'm rated 2000 (yea i wish) and i beat up on a 1300 player in a rated game will i still gain points or is there a point where i'll lose rating points?
Originally posted by kmac27You would be average rating of your opponent + 400. Same as always.
if someone is provisional and the only people they play are 2400 and above and they win all of them will they be over 3000? i know its a pointless question but still come on now.

Also maximum win or loss of points between players far apart in rating is 32 points.
Originally posted by XanthosNZAs A1, Score you mean 1 for win, 0 for loss and 0.5 for draw?
=32* (A1 - 1 / (10^((A2-A3)/400)+1))
Where A1 = Score
A2 = Opponent's Rating
A3 = Your Rating
That wasn't hard was it?
