Points awarded at the end of a game

Always wondered how this worked but in reading CC's instructions, under the "rankings" sub-category, it says "the winner takes points away from each loser. The points to be awarded is calculated as (loser's score/winner's score) *20". Now what exactly does this mean? Is the "score" the points a player has which can get them up to the next rank (I.e. I think mine right now is 1355 making me a sargeant)? If so are the players points at the beginning of the game or at the end of the game taken into the equation because of course finishing other games can change a players score right in the middle of any unfinished games? So assuming I'm right would this equation be correct: (me, the loser) 1355 divided by 1125 (my opponent, the winner) = 1.204 (rounding down to 1) then 1 multiplied by 20 which = 20? So I would lose 20 points and my opponent would gain them.. I think most of my confusion comes from the use of (/) to divide and (*) to multiply. I just want to know if I'm correct on the math side of things and could use clarification on whether the points at the beginning or the end of each game are taken into the equation. Thanks..

It's the points at the end of game that are used to calculate the points won or lost.

You're pretty close with regards to the scoring formula, you just rounded too early. You would first multiply 1.204 by 20 to get 24.09, then round that to 24. So you would lose (and your opponent would gain) 24 points instead of 20.

Gotcha.. Yeah I slipped up there, thank you.

Not entirely true. It's the points the players have at the time of calculation that is used, i.e at the end of a game usually or at the time of termination for a terminator game.
