how does rating change after a game?
  • Ruben M (bolo) at 2003-08-05

    I won a game and got 1 point and my oponent loses 12?

    Does anybody know how many points you lose or win each game?

    Look at the system message:

    MSGID: #149849

    From: SYSTEM

    To: Ruben M (bolo)

    Date: 2003-08-05

    When both players have been around for a while, the winner gains the same amount of points as the loser lose. However, when playing against “fresh” players, this do not apply. If you have been around for a while, and play against someone new, the rating change for you will be very small, win or lose. For your opponent, the rating change is calculated in the ordinary fashion.

    I think this is a good system, as it prevents vultures from “attacking” newbies who often has a higher rating than skills.
