I just won my second game. 2 for 2. My ranking went down?

Oops, just noticed the ladder forum.

you may find the answer in the other forum, but the basic answer is that the algorithm doesn't function very well with small amounts of data. That is why Fizzer changed it so you don't actually get ranked until you've played 10 games. It sounds like he'll be removing the ability to even see your points until you're ranked, specifically because of anomalies like this.

Until you finish 10 ladder games, your rating is only provisional and you don't have a rank. Provisional ratings fluctuate a lot since the ladder is still trying to figure out where you sit.

Ok. Just seemed weird since my 2nd win was against the guy who's ranked 7th on Warlight, and my rating went down. But I'll play some more and let Warlight figure it out:)
