    the ratings rely on the "ELO" system which means you get less points playing plays of similar or lower ratings than you and more for beating players with higher ratings - you can check out the details on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

        @betterlate1 I assumed that was what the question was about! Maybe there's some other kind of ranking system unknown to me. I'm a refugee from the dreadful new "scrabble go" platform - quite why any company would abandon a perfectly good app for something so crap is beyond me!!

          If you play someone close to your rank and win you get a couple points. If you play someone way over your rank and win ..lot of points . Way under,you lose a lot of rank. Way under and close-you could win minimal points but they can also gain. Hope this helps

            you appear to have missed the point - I was replying to the question about rankings - not asking about them - I pretty much said exactly the same thing in different words!! But thanks anyway!!

                @tim-bastable Tim - some people don't read other's comments, they just like to answer their own way, despite it being answered (as you had done).

                    I think starting people at 1200 is a bad policy.
                    It used to be a median starting ranking of 1600.
                    Where people could go up or down from.

                    1200 is very low and wastes a person's time climbing up and getting complaints of cheating along the way.

                    Only defense I can think of for 1200 is that it might dissuade folks form opening multiple accounts.

                          Why is the scoring so unfair? If I win I get very few points and if I lose I get clobbered! Please can someone explain? I am now trailing in score someone against whom I have won far more games. N.

                            @niki35 As someone remarked earlier on this thread, it depends on your relative ratings ("ranking"). If you have a rating of 1500 and you beat someone with a 2000 rating, you get big points out of that. But if that much higher rated player beats you, they get minimal points.
