How does point system work?

So Recently, I just played a game.

My score was 1272 when I went into the game, when it ended, I came out with 1289

The scores were 

Player 1: 80

Player 2: 74

Riptidejr: 72

Player 4: 0

Shouldn't I have gotten like 68 points?

it depends on the player ratings and you did come 3rd generally the first two only get points

Points are only to decide who wins. Ratings are only calculated on the final point standings. There is an article pinned at the top of the forums that describes how ratings are calculated.

It is sticky: How the rating system works

I understand just don't get how the points come from the ratings like if someone was 200 above you, how many points would you get for beating them?

I don't know the exact formula. As far as I understand you would get the same amount of points as if you had played normal chess against him (1 vs 1).

I'm sort of a newbie at chess even tho I started playing chess Five years ago, I sorta don't know how 1v1 points are calculated either.

If you would like to delve deeper into the inner workings of the system, check here: Elo rating system

 Thank you!
