Rating / Ranking System
The system is relatively simple: Each match is worth 16 points, plus or minus 4% of the initial ranking difference between the players. The winner always wins at least 2 points. The loser of the match receives 2 points for each game he wins, and those points are subtracted from the winner's 16 points. Here are some examples:
| Player Ranking | Games Won | Games Lost | Ranking Points Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1100 | 3 | 2 | -16 |
| 700 | 2 | 3 | +16 |
For example, if a player ranked 1100 beats a player ranked 700 with a match score of 3 games to 2, the player ranked 1100 gets 2 points for the match win but ends up losing 2 points because of the game score (16 points for the win minus 16 points for the ranking difference, but a win is always worth at least 2 points).
