how come rankings go to one decimal place, but when you play games they go to two decimal places?

ie. when you win a game it says (+0.35), but ranks are 777.4
shouldn't it be 777.40?

no, it rounds to the nearest 10th of a rank. if .4 rounds down to .0 if .5 rounds up.

gilli, for arguments sake, your current rank is: 777.86

which would be rounded on the page as 777.9, but if your rank was 777.84, it'd be rounded down to 777.8 on the page.

Yep, internally all the ranking scores are counted up to 2 decimal places.

They are displayed with 1 decimal place because 5 figures in the rankings eg 723.45 is too much information.
