What is edge modification as it seems to come up a lot after my matches?

It even came up against an opponent i got a bye in a tourny against.

3) The edge modification: if you approach a very high ranking or a very low ranking your score is reduced.
Ideally, no players should be able to reach the extreme limits of the rankings system. If they do, the system is flawed as we can not differentiate between 2 players on the maximum.

Therefore it is (roughly) exponentially more difficult for players above 900 points to reach 1000 points.

An amount is reduced from scores, this is known as the edge modification

The actual amount is linear, at 900 points you lose 0%; at 950 points you lose 25%. If you get past 950 points it becomes even more severe, eventually resulting in a 100% loss of points at 1000.

The inverse occurs for users with scores below 600.

Thank you Jim.
