scoring system

Could someone please explain how the scoring system works? It seems that the longer you stay in the game the more points gets deducted if you don't win. This is counterintuitive to me. If one plays poorly at the beginning of the game I would think more points would be deducted when s/he is eliminated early than if someone plays well and is eleminated near the end of the game.

Just my two cents, euros or whatever you use ;)

The score is calculated at the end of the game (or at the time when you are eliminated for a terminator game). The way a change in score is calculated is:
(loser's score)/(winner's score)*20. This is calculated for each person who loses. Each loser loses that many points and the winner gains the sum of all the points lost by all of the losers. Here is a better explanation: Link.

score is calculated by this method:

(loser's score / winner's score) * 20

which means if a high rank beats a low rank, a low amount of points will be won/lost.

If 2 people of the same score 2 points won/lost

And if a person of a low score beats a person of a high score a large amount of points will be won/lost

e.g.

Player A 1500 points beats player B 1000 points:

(1000/1500)*20= 13 points won

Player B 1000 points beats Player A 1500 points:

(1500/1000)*20= 30 points won

What has been said is correct. And that ofc means that you thought wrong with the above.
A bit interesting that no one mentioned that before. :D
