Rating & ranks

• Everyone starts at 1000.
• At the reveal, your placement is compared against every opponent in the lobby, pair by pair.
• Beating a higher-rated player pays more than beating a lower-rated one; losing to a lower-rated player costs more. The math is zero-sum - points you gain come from your opponents.
• Bigger lobbies spread the exchange across more opponents, so one match never swings your rating wildly.

Your reveal-board chip (+16, -9) is exactly this exchange, and your profile keeps the full history.

Entering a lobby is a commitment. If you join and forfeit - nothing valid to judge by the deadline - you place below everyone who shipped and your rating drops accordingly. In squad, a member with zero authored commits takes the same forfeit loss even if their team shipped - see how duos work.

Rank colors your name across the platform and sets which challenges you can enter (your rank and below).
