I really don't understand how I can defeat a player by 12 points (backgammon x 4) and my rating only goes up by 4 points, then I play a 2 game tie and my rating falls by 3 points. Would someone PLEASE explain how this rating system works? It obviously has nothing to do with the mathematics of win/loss/points ratios; but the players who have higher ratings use their status to snub lesser rated players. What does this rating system mean? Why is it there? Would somebody care to share, because though I generally like this site this rating system is FRUSTRATING!
