calculation points

Hi, Can someone, preferably an admin, please clarify how the points are calculated in a 2player game? In the game beneath, a General loses to a player who has played 13 games. You'd think, the General will lose 29 rating points, but no, he just loses 18. How is that possible? If 2 players have the same amount of points, the winner gets 20 rating points, the loser loses 20 rating points. If you have more rating points than your opponent, and you lose, you lose more than 20 points. So in this case: The newbie should have more rating points than the General? That is not possible. This is not the first I see this. [url=]https://dominating12.com/game/1090970[/url]

Here is a link to how the formula works: https://dominating12.com/forums/1/news-announcements/2483/new-ranking-system-calculation

Elysium, I know that. But it doesn't make any sense. Let's use names here: Joey, General: about 5400 points. Kendilcave, new player, about 1000 points. Average points: (5400+1000)/2 = 3200 Formula: (losers points/average points of all players)*20 Gives: (5400/3200)*20 = 33,75. But this is limited to 29 in a 2 player game. So I dont understand why Joey loses only 18 points here, and not 29. And second, why is this not questioned here? This is not the first time I see Joey losing less points than he should. Something must be wrong in the formula.

In 2 player games you can only lose 3 times as many points as you would have won.

Really? I didn't know that. Thank you for the clarification Cireon.

Alex asked about this in detail, so for the exact formula and why, see this thread: https://dominating12.com/forums/2/general-discussion/3078/inner-workings-of-the-game-engine/post/53716#post-53716

Thanks
