I had 600 (approx) points. I lost one game and dropped to 300 points. I won the second game against the same player, and went to 370 points. Isn't that kinda silly? I mean, I understand the points dropping every time you play the same player... but that much of a drop just after the first match? I think you should get two matches of around the same points before it drops suddenly. As you are worried about cheating, perhaps it should be a drastic drop if you win two in a row, but at least give the looser a chance to get SOME of their points back in a second game... |

As far as I remember formulas is something like (150 + (looserRank - winnerRank)) / 2^(numberOfGamesPlayed -1). (not sure about 150 and may be there's some constant before rank difference) So: 1) if you win player that have 50 less rating and if you loose to him results is different - you may win 100 or loose 200; 2) in each next game against same opponent resulting points will be twice less. So don't loose to low-rated players

Why do you think the ladder gets so hard as your rating gets up there :p |

Hmmmm.... I always thought that a loss usually meant that you lost half of your current ladder points. |

cosmo: that just means you are losing when you don't have that many points to begin with... can you imagine going from 2000 ladder points to 1000 in one loss? |

hmmm it just seems everytime I lose when I'm at > 0 points, I lose exactly half! Like 142 --> 71 or 348 --> 174 maybe it's just a coincidence when it happens I mean I do usually stop when I'm at like 600+ points |

yeah you need to have a large number of points.. 348 is not actually a large number... i believe you lose half if you would otherwise lose more than half. |
