your rank is higher so you are expected to win against lower ranked players. Happens to us all.

His point is: How does 841.0 + 3 = 843.7

814.5 - 2.9 isn't 811.4 either.

Unless we are forgetting a factor here (can't imagine what that would be), this is a bug.

Like admins can't give points if some one suffered a bug.

I believe my hypothesis is correct

At midnight (UK time) we drop all the ranks by a very small amount (called the daily reduction). It just happens between those 2 results the drop occurred.

9 Ball Ranked - cvet0 (8) loses to _payback_ (5)
RANKINGS: _payback_ 814.5 (+4.4), cvet0 841.0 (-4.3)
23:59

Rank drop

9 Ball Ranked - _payback_ (5) loses to cvet0 (9)
RANKINGS: cvet0 843.7 (+3.0), _payback_ 811.4 (-2.9)
00:02

See http://www.funkypool.com/help/rankings (point 5) for further information about rankings and the daily reduction.

Thanks for taking the screenshot, this allows us to deal with enquiries like these much quicker!

In other words, cvet0, after you went down to 841.0, your rank got reduced further by 0.3 to 840.7 due to the daily reduction, before the next game got finished. Then you bounced back up to 843.7. Well spotted though!

In your example, _payback_ also got his rank reduced with a 0.2 reduction: 814.5 - 0.2 (daily reduction) - 2.9 (defeat) = 811.4.

Great spotting indeed

Would never occurred to me to look in the direction of daily reductions for this one, but makes perfect sense.

I thought daily reductions didn't occur if you were logged in before midnight and played games through midnight, or is this a new thing?!

That would been a hopeless bug if that were the case.
