I had to have 19 more wins than losses to break 1600. I ended with 28 more wins than losses and finished fourth. I had more wins and less losses than the top three finishers. I had 9 more wins and 6 less losses than the first place winner. This isn't the first time I've gone to Bug Report on Discord for this, it's just the worst time.

That explains it. I've been really unlucky the last couple months.

It's more just luck based game 🙁

Its the way the ELOs are calculated. It’s like small wins vs large wins and multiple small wins could lose out to a few large wins. Thats the way I understand it. However the ELO is also based on a full ground reset at the start where every image seems to have a baseline score. Maybe 1400? Maybe 1500. Im not sure. Then each win and lose pushes the score up or down. If the one u win against has a tier disparity beyond a range. U gain 2X score etc. Then if its within your range. U gain X score. This is how i understand it. Also with other factors that may impact the score value. The only uncertainty I have is whether the ELO is being treated “fair” like late voting. ELO disparity will grow and the vote power becomes bigger.

I feel for you. It is as all due to what Eternasky explained, and King in Discord. I asked how the matchups are made, and it seemed fairly random to ensure even number of matchups for each entry. So conceivably you could be unlucky and lost against many with much lower ratings which would cost you a lot of points, won againts lower ratings which earns fewer, and vice versa. This would then lead to what you see in the stats.

Bump this. We can't say it enough but it doesn't seem like it's going to change. IMHO the ELO system is flawed and shouldn't be paired with a binary voting system; audiences don't determine the outcome of a 1v1 chess match, the players do and are trying to win...so even we as voters are biased!! It's a fkn mess🤣

Uhh... what the heck? I had noticed some strange things about the ratings before but not anything huge like this... thruth is I can't understand how the system works. - this, though, is WAY over the top...

Sealine

I have no idea how this is possible. Sorry it happened to you. Again. Your image was fantastic!

It's been strange all right. I understand how it's SUPPOSED to work, I just don't think it is.

Me too, My best creations are far behind those garbage creations !
