You moght want to read up upon the ELO-scoring system. (In an other thred somewhere).

And I'm not sure how you can lose points while not playing.
But I've seen lots of people, who sit in at a table, and after a while, when they get tired of waiting for other players, they just off their browser.
That doesnt work, you have to stand up from the table, else you'll still be playing in that game when it does start.
