Question 3

Where can I see my Glicko rating?

Accepted Answer

You can view your Glicko ratings in several places: Your profile page shows your current rating for each game and your global rating. The leaderboard page has a 'Ratings' tab that displays rating-based rankings. You can also view your rating history on a dedicated page that shows how your rating has changed over time with visual charts. Ratings are only tracked for logged-in users, so make sure you're signed in to see and improve your ratings.

Question 4

Question 5

How is the score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Scoring rules are specific to each game. You can find detailed scoring explanations in the FAQ section within each game.

Question 6

What is the Glicko rating system?

Accepted Answer

The Glicko rating system is an advanced skill-based rating system we use to track your performance across all games. Unlike simple scores, Glicko ratings provide a more accurate measure of your true skill level. Each game has its own rating, and you also have a global rating that averages your ratings across all games. Your rating adjusts after each game based on your performance, the difficulty of your opponents, and how confident the system is in your current rating. Higher ratings indicate better skill, and you can compete on rating-based leaderboards to see how you rank against other players.

Question 7

How do Glicko ratings work?

Accepted Answer

Glicko ratings start at 1500 for new players. After each game, your rating updates based on your performance. If you perform better than expected, your rating increases. If you perform worse, it decreases. The amount of change depends on your current rating deviation (how confident the system is in your rating) and the strength of your opponents. As you play more games, the system becomes more confident in your rating, and changes become smaller. You can view your rating progress over time in your profile's rating history page, which shows how your skill level has evolved.

Question 10

How do I improve my scores?
