Backgammon FAQ: Ratings Backgammon FAQ Ratings. Everyone starts with a rating of 1500. When you win a match, your rating goes up. When you lose a match, your rating goes down. Over time, your rating will tell you, roughly, how strong a player you are.

There is no international rating system as there is in chess. The easiest way to get a rating is to play one of the many. Most sites have their own built-in ratings sytem. Just play matches and you will get a rating. On some sites, you have to choose whether you want your matches rated or not.

On others, you have to be a paying member to get a rating. You can use your rating to see how well you play compared with other players on the same site. The following chart gives a rough idea of how you might interpret your rating.

It is more difficult to compare your rating with players from other sites. Not all sites use the same rating formula, and the overall strength of players on different sites varies.

Whether you win or lose. If you win a match, your rating goes up; if you lose, your rating goes down. The length of the match. Winning a long match changes your rating more than winning a short match. The reason is that the outcome of a longer match is more likely due to skill and less likely the result of luck. Rating difference. Winning a match against a higher rated player increases your rating more than winning against a lower rated player.

Number of matches played. New players will see their rating change in larger steps during an initial ramp-up period. How much you win or lose the match. It doesn't matter if you win a match by one point or ten points; a win is a win. For example, in a 3-point match, winning 3-2 is the same as winning 12-0. You don't receive additional rating points for a large margin of victory. In the late 1980's, Kent Goulding sought to establish a ratings system for backgammon.

He asked his friend, Larry Kaufman, who was familiar with the workings of the chess system, to devise an appropriate system. Kaufman took the chess system, which was devised by Arpad Elo in 1960, and modified it to make it more suitable for backgammon. He described his proposal in a 1991 article in Inside Backgammon. Around the same time, Andreas Schneider was developing. Schneider came upon Kaufman's article and decided this was exactly what was needed for his new play site.

The ratings system was a hit. Players now had an easy way to track their performance against others, and this added greatly to the fun.

Today, most backgammon play sites use a rating system based on the Elo/Kaufman/ FIBS model. Let D be the difference between your rating and your opponent's rating, and let N be the length of match you are playing.
