Power Rankings
How These Rankings Work
Win? Ratings go UP! Lose? Ratings go down. Of course, we couldn't make it that simple. Here's what impacts how much you move on the leaderboard:
🔢 Hand values matter.
Easy hands get you a smaller bump than high-point or concealed wins. Pull off a win without a joker?! Huge boost! 🀄
🀄 Discards hurt. A lot.
If you threw the tile that gave someone else mahjong, you take a double penalty on your loss. The other *~LoSeEeeRs~* at the table take a normal hit. When someone self-picks the winning tile, everyone loses equally.
🌶️ Upsets are spicy.
Beating a highly ranked player earns you extra rating points. If you lose to someone ranked significantly below you, that will sting more than usual — both on the leaderboard points-wise but emotionally too because how embarrassing.
🤚 Wall games are free.
No winner means no points and no penalties. The game will still count towards your games-played and percentage wins stats.
