Understand how your competitive ranking is calculated and learn strategies to climb the leaderboard.
The ELO system calculates the expected outcome of matches based on the rating difference between players. When you win against a higher-rated opponent, you gain more points than winning against a lower-rated opponent.
Win against higher-rated players for maximum rating gains (+15 to +32 points)
Win against similar-rated players for moderate gains (+8 to +16 points)
Lose against lower-rated players for maximum rating loss (-16 to -32 points)
You (1400) defeat opponent (1700) → Expected probability: 15%
You (1500) defeat opponent (1520) → Expected probability: 47%
You (1600) lose to opponent (1300) → Expected probability: 85%
