      Please explain how a ranking is achieved. It seems as if one gets much fewer ranking points when winning than several months ago.

        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.
