Question about Tetris Live and Rating

[Stan]

Apparently; it seems as if you gain rating by stealing from other members. i.e; I lose 30 rating, you gain 30 rating because you won. What happens in a full room of 2000 rates then?

Well, I would assume the loser(s) shaves off a few points and the winner(s) just stay at 2000.

I seriously don't know, as I've never seen it happen.

thats exactly what happens.  this system is basically the same one they use for ranking chess masters.  it is also similar to the one they use in World of Warcraft for arenas.

a room full of 2000s will only last for 1 game anyway

it is similar, except that chess players can reach ratings higher than 2000 with the elo system. Blockbox uses elo.
