[RftG-genie] Scoring and frozen players

[sars1492]

I'm playing RFG on Genie for half year, but I still don't Scoring
system.
Why in one game I gain 30 points and other 4 points?
What about second or third place in 4 players games?
How determine real time duration of game number of winning/loosing
scoring points (when I play it for half hour or couple of weeks)?
How many points I loose when I get frozen?
And what I gain (or loose) when I finish 2 players game with frozen
player (I've found out, that some players don't finish 2 players games
when opponent gets frozen?

The rating system is similar to that used for chess. You gain or lose
points based on the difference between your rating and that of your
opponent. If you're playing someone with a much higher rating than
your own, you'll gain more points if you win, and lose fewer points if
you lose. Against players with a much lower rating, the converse is
true: you gain fewer points for losing and lose more points for
losing.

Multiplayer games are, IIRC, scored as if you had played each player
in a 2-player game and won or lost against that person, but with the
total points won or lost dropped down to reflect that it was only one
game. So in a three player game, where Alice is 1st, Barney is 2nd,
and Chris is 3rd, Barney is scored as if he had lost to Alice in a 2
player game and beat Chris in a 2 player game, but the points involved
are, I dunno, 2/3rds what they would be for two actual two player
games. I think the specific math involved is pretty fiddly.

thx

And what about frozen players? This case is same as normal loose or
there is some penalty for being frozen?

One more question. Do you gain score, when you "win" against frozen
player?

If i'm understanding your question, you want to know if game real time
duration affects how ratings are calculated, and the answer is it has
no effect whatsoever.

Same as normal loss. The frozen player loses points as normal, the
opponents gain points as tho the frozen player finished the game.

Yes.

Thanks very much

I know, that may be silly question for you, but I've wanted
understand.

I think that make some FAQ with simple description of rules is good
idea. For new players who don't know RFTG :).
