NOTE: its not necessary to start a game against every player, Play only against those whom you want to play. there is no obligation from our end..But when u accept a game at cube 16 then u hv to offer/accept cube till 16 no matter what u are losing or winning..
After that u can decline any cube depending upon the condition of game.

TIP: if there is not a difference of 100 points in ur ratings,means both player's rating are near to each other then cube at 8 will also get u 10 points.. . means u can stop cube at 8 also with mutual consent  


if any1 wants to un join they can do it any time by just posting here that they are out

The whole idea of the rating system is that you win fewer points if you beat somebody of a lower rating. You are going to artificially inflate your rating by doing this, and frankly, what is the point of that? If you play a lower rated player and lose, take the hit.

Generally playing a cube game where the value of the cube actually decreases with every turn until you reach a maximum of + or - 10 seems to me to be a waste of time, and you also lose some forced moves for your opponent which slows everything down too. There should be a separate 'bank' of points to play with in cubed games, so that if the cube goes to 16 it actually means you win or lose 16 points. While ZE would be unlikely to set this up maybe it could be done via the forums, but might be complicated to keep track of.

As has been pointed out, you can already play unrated games which don't affect the numbers.

I get the whole idea of rating system, but problem is MOST of high ranked players don't like to get hit on their points so simply they don't play...  
But frankly speaking, I never get a challenge of "Unrated game" and u neither I can challenge any player on high ranks due to their criteria  
so its useless



All I wanted was to create EQUAL stakes for both parties so there should not be any excuse for any1  
And yes, we are not ZE officials so we can't implement any thing so we try to adjust in our limited resources

i am leaving office now, tomorrow i will share why and how I got this idea..

Maybe high ranked players just prefer to play against other players of a similar ability because the games are more challenging. But also, if you are a certain standard, the way the rankings are calculated should mean that the rating of your opponents makes no difference to your own rating in the long run. Yes you might potentially lose more points per game playing against a lower opponent, but to counter that you also win more games than you lose and vice versa.

I'm really against doing anything to deliberately skew the ratings numbers like this as the whole point of them is to indicate players of equal strength.

One result of this idea is that lower rated players will necessarily drop even more points than normal by losing the same ratio of games to better players, and possibly get even fewer games as a result of having artificially low ratings.

There are plenty of opportunities to play higher ranked players in the tournaments.
