Hi, I am just wondering how the ranking works.

I have won 29 games, lost 17 and tied 2  and sit at a current ranking of 1167 while i have versed opponents in the 1300s who have lost more games than won. 

I would like to be able to improve myself 

My Avg Opp is 1040 and i am trying to verse tougher opponents but my ranking is not improving.

Thank you for your posts.
