when you are playing in the finals of a tourney vs a higher ranked opp. and you lose 3 games and win 0 to that person. will your rating be affected as it is 1 loss or 3? If it is looked at as 3 wins. Than each time you beat them the next game becomes worth less rating points? so you could lose lot of rating points if you go up 2-0 and end up winning 3-2it might actually cause you to lose more points than gain, even though you beat them. So it might look something like this 22pts for win 1. then win two might be worth 10pts then win 3 might be worth 2. But if i lose game 3 it might cost me 70pts which might not be able to be made up! coudl someone clarify this!
