first few games in any ladder will cost a lot of points if we lose.. i dont know why.

look at the above match. i lost 44 points in a team game... why is it like that?

i dont want any points back or adjust the lost points.

just wanted to understand is this normal?

You haven't played many games on the DM - Team Games ladder yet, which means that you are affected by the rating mulitplier for the first 20 games on that ladder.

The idea behind this: ELO should reflect your skill level, so the idea is, that players quickly reach their real rating when they are new to the ladder, so we increase this by using a multiplier for the first 20 games on each ladder so the rating goes quickly up or down.

Rating multiplier (game 1 to 20): 3.5,3.5,3.5,3,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,2
