Weird Point Calculation

Sort:
Avatar of pupanovice

Every now and then, I see points being calculated weirdly after a game. See photo below. Is it just a bug?

No, that's the way the Glicko rating system works. The system includes a measure of rating uncertainty called the rating deviation (RD) value.

Players with few games in a rating pool, or gaps in play, will have a higher RD value and see large changes after games. As more games are played, that value decreases, as does the magnitude of rating changes.
