Finish 3rd == +0 (zero) points?

(I have no idea if this has been discussed elsewhere, as I can't figure out how to search the forums. Sorry in advance if it has.)

The last two games I played, I finished in the top 3, and received zero points in both games, while the 4th position received a bump. My current score is > 1600. Does the total score determine how many points you'll receive in finishing? Where are those rules defined?

Well, it does depend on what rank your competitors are at. If you played against say, in your case, several low 1500 raks, then you may not receive points when they, since plaing agianst equal levels, will get some. I think that's what matters, although I'm not clear on how scoring is weighed, and I haven't needed to worry.

After posting, I saw the note on the 'News' page that the scoring is based on ELO (the chess/go scoring methodology, not the band). The next question is ELO is based on 2-player games, not multi player.

I'd like to see more internals on the scoring.

If you play this game you find on the left bar the "help" with a small link called "more..." - there you will find everything you want.

Jongs: That location is exactly why I made this post. There's nothing on that site about the final scoring functionality.

uSuck: Thanks so much for the insightful commentary. You made the scoring very easy to understand. I look forward to your future responses.

scoring system is subject to possible change in the near future.

how do I see other pages on the forum besides the first one? I still want to know if there were any results to the 45 points I was robbed of.
