Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about tracking ratings with Rookie to GOAT.
Our ratings use a skill-based system that adjusts your score after every game based on expectations. Changes are driven by both your opponent’s rating and the margin of victory, not just whether you won or lost. Lower-rated players can improve their rating by keeping games close or outperforming expectations even when they lose. Every point in every game counts.
