It rewards the more active players.

And encourages the tight players (by low-game count) to risk by playing more to attain/sustain/retain their rank.

I think 2 games/day is reasonable.

Or, maybe that's what that (games ^ 3) part of the math mumbo-jumbo in the scoring is trying to do.

I any case, I'm doing fairly well right now and I'd like to be higher, and want the fly-by-night tourist players to be vanquished further down!!!!

If you satisfy this request I promise not to make it again

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll go explain it to my pet goldfish now.

Hi JumlyGurm,

what you describe is an extra event - in respect to the current avg total amount of active players and the number of players fullfilling like 2 ranking games per day:
which is currently ~600 players vs ~100 players.

How exactly do you imagine your idea?

As for now, it's during european morning time until evening already a long time to wait for a casual ranking game to start.

The reply from boehmi demonstrates the current ranking formular which respects the amount of games during a season in a pretty fair way. Please take a deeper look (the x-axis is the number of games).

Kind regards
