The Ranking system is simple. You win, we add points. You lose, we subtract points. How many points you win or lose depends on the ranking of your opponent. If you are equally ranked and you win, then you gain one point. If you are ranked differently then the number of points you win or lose depends on difference between the rankings of you and your opponent. For example, if you are beginner and your opponent is a professional, you gain 4 points by beating him because he is three levels above you and is considered a much better player. If you lose the game you lose only 1 point because you were defeated by a stronger opponent. The same is true at professional level; if you are professional and you win, you only gain 1 point. However, if you lose the game you lose 4 points because you were defeated by a weaker opponent. |

A Limit game is a game in which you cannot double the stake of the game, while in a No Limit game you can double the stake of the game. |
|

The Double option allows you to double the fun point stake you are playing for. When you feel confident that you are winning you can offer your opponent to raise the stakes. If your opponent declines, you win the game. If he accepts the game continues with doubled stakes. |

Match games are a series of games in which you need to win a certain number of games to win the entire match. For example, if the match is a best-of-three match, the first player to win 2 games wins the match. If the match game is the best-of-five games, the first player to win three games is the winner, etc. |

Once you run out of fun points, you can reload your account with more fun points. However, the amount of times you can reload is limited. |

You disconnect, you lose. As a precaution against cheating and improper practices, it is for the protection of players that games which, for any reason, have resulted in disconnection are counted as losses for the people who have been disconnected. After a player disconnects he is given a certain time to reconnect, which depends on the speed of the game. If reconnection is successful the game resumes. However, if the reconnection fails and the player is still disconnected at the end of his reconnection time, the victory can be claimed by the connected player, regardless of whether he was winning or losing. If both players disconnect and one player reconnects at the end of the given reconnection time and the second one fails to, the victory can be claimed by the connected player, irrespective of whether he was disconnected first or second. If both players fail to reconnect then nobody wins and the game is officially cancelled. |
