rating system!

Checkers
i dont like how people can play beginners over and over again and rank up to the same level as somebody who plays people with the same rating as them, i like how anybody can play anybody but i think you should only acheive ranking points from players who are of equal or similar ability i.e novices playing novices for ranking points rather than a "expert" playing a novice and winning points these unfair match ups should just be for fun
So you shudn care about these points if you play for fun. As i already said, the rating system is perfect. Tommy
i didnt say i played for fun, i said matches in which people abuse the perfect rating system and gain points from weaker players should be non ranking matches and played just for the sake of playing
Why? If you are over 700 & win against a 0 you win only 1 point. & if the different is over 720 you win no points. Tommy
Shaun it is very good of rating (Y)< 719 = 0 Only by Draw (Empate or Remis)you lost vs 0 player = 18 points I hate to losting points pro days here (is only by Flyordie this system)
As i already said on another Thread. If you wont lose points each day you could sit for ever on high rates. & thats not good. ;) Tommy
lol Surely if you sit there for years and stop playing, then actually play people your "level", your rating will show it's true colors. Chess Champions don't lose their ratings because they skip out on a World Championship. If they don't play in their time off they get rusty, same thing here. That's the only thing I don't like about our system.
i have recently became everything i hate about the game and started only playing low ranking players just to see how far i would get, i normally had a rating of between 60 - 80 so im pretty much an average player but since ive started playing novices i have kept winning and im now at a ranking of 369 and have an orange symbol next to my name and classed as a master of the game lol is this fair to the other players? ok 369 isnt a massive score but its alot more than my actual rating of 60, im no where near a master so this is where i think the rating system should be changed to stop players like myself in this case cheating there way up the rankings
