Not sure if it is known or it is being address but right now anyone around 400 rating apart can play eachother, and if the top rated player wins he gains 2 points while the lower rated player loses 0 points. This allows for instances such as vinyljr dropping games to koders all night and losing 0 points while koders gains free points. This issue should be addressed.
