How is this possible. I would assume that my positive score should be the same as his negative score can any one explain this.

antagonistknight 12-Mar-09, 05:24	You are correct, you should have the exact same score just one of you have a negative version of the other. Here is the scoring policy from Gameknot: All rated games between the club members are used. Players with at least 5 finished club games are included in the table. Each win is 1 point, each loss is -1 point and draw is 0 points. "Vs." part of the table: individual score / total number of rated games played against that opponent. This table is updated nightly. For example, we play 10 games and I win 4 of them, we draw 3 and you win 3. I would have a score of 4(my wins)-3(your wins) and we ignore draws because they don't count. so my score is 1/10. Conversely your score is 3(your wins)-4(my wins), so -1/10. It works out this way no matter what combination I have worked with. I suggest you contact gameknot to figure out what is wrong with the scoring. hbird1830
