do you lose point for surrendering?
what is the reward for winning?

We all start off with a score of 1000. At the end of each game, the winner takes points away from each loser. The points to be awarded is calculated as (loser's score / winner's score ) * 20.

So second place, last place and people who surrender all lose points to the winner. It's all or nothing.

Then I have a question, cause I was playing in a 3 person game and I somehow got 44 points for winning. Is that just a glitch or is there some way to get more points than one should?

Nope, no glitch. You get the total amount of points that have been lost by each loser, and they are all added to your score. Wicked, eh? :wink:

Ok it dosnt take alot at times but I'm still confused about the 44 point thing, I thought it was an even 20 point for each loss/win can someone go into detail about where the extra 4 points comes from ? plz

Quoted from lackattack four posts up there...to calculate it, just use the formula "(loser's score / winner's score ) * 20" for each opponent you successfully defeated, and then add them up. If you're the loser, than you just subtract it once from your own score, since you're giving it to the winner. :D

It is losers score divided by the winners times 20.

Decent chance that joetalk has figured out the whole scoring thing in the 14 months since that question was asked.

If we start out with 1000, how do we lose and gain the points?

so if I have 1000 points, and i lose to someone with 1020 points. I would lose 20 points. But if I win to someone with 1020 points, I would gain 20 points. If i beat someone with 2000 points, i would gain 40 points. cool. I get it now

That site needs a spelling and grammar check.

More or less - just try it with a calculator and all will become clear...
