Pat Bounces Back with a Double Win

Abu's reign was short-lived as Pat's double victory pushed him into 2.0 range.

How do these ranks work? a win is 2 points (+ a point spread modifier) whereas a loss is 1 point only. Since most folks win & lose games, their average falls somewhere between 1.0 and 2.0

Winning many more games (than losing) with a wide point spread (13/1 13/2 etc) will really rocket your rank up.

13/0 will give you 4 points total
13/1 will give you 3.5 points
13/2 = 3 points
13/3 = 2.9 points
13/4 = 2.8 points
13/5 = 2.7 points
13/6 = 2.6 points
13/7 = 2.5 points
13/8 = 2.4 points
13/9 = 2.3 points
13/10 = 2.2 points
13/11 = 2.1 points
13/12 = 2 points

Also, the increase in number of games played will make the point adjustment from game to game more subtle because the score you get in 1 game will affect your average less if you've already played 30 games than if it is only your 3rd game played.

To that end, you can see on the ranking table that there are folks with high averages (example: Kevin C. with 2.20) - we only put a player into the "top level rankings" after playing 10 games. This is to ensure there is somewhat of a healthy numbers of games player to create an average.
