Walter - It also depends on how many games you have finished & how many games your oppenent has finished. In thery, the more games you have completed, the more "stable" your rating will be.

3 game Crowded rating - You should only get a rating after 4 games. By any chance did a game of crowded get timed out, then restored? (UPDATE: Yea, your game with "JustTina" which was timed out, giving you a rating - then it was restored, but the computer kept your rating viable instead of putting you back to "unrated".)

I also some-what question some of the rankings - how in the new battleboat games for example, everyone's ratings started really low - even if you won all your games, you were still in the 1500-1700 range. Yet in Amazons, a few quickly jumped to the 2000+ range in no time at all. (Sorry, I can't check myself because I can't see what everyone's "unrated" rating is.) :-(
