Rated Game Rules

Technical Rules
#1. Only Admins and Tournament Hosts can create a Rated Game.
#2. Playing any Rated Game will affect your rating according to specific rules explained in the specific threads.
#3. Any member can join a Rated Game by following the steps shown on the first post.
#4. Unless specified, LFCG Standard Fighting Rules apply to all Rated Games.
#5. Players registered but not attending will temporarily or permanently get banned from Rated Games.


Rating Rules
#1. A player gains rating for winning matches and loses rating for losing or not attending matches.
#2. C = (L + 500 - W) x B / 100.
Whereas:
C = Change of Rating. Winner's rating increases and the loser's rating decreases by C.
L = Loser's Rating (before change applies)
W = Winner's Rating (before change applies)
B = Base

More important games have higher Base value, giving a higher rating change for each match.
As a comparation, Home Tournaments have B = 10.


Standard Tournament Match-making System
#1. Players will be sorted out based on their match points (MP), where are all players start with 0 MP. Players with the same MP will be randomized.
#2. #1 will fight against #2, #3 against #4, and so on. If the number of player is odd, the last player will get a 'bye', which is similar to an 'instant win'.
#3. In each round, the winner gets 1 MP. In case of a draw, both players get 0.5 MP.
#4. Players cannot meet against the same player again in a tournament..
