      I like that we can restrict by rank, but would there be an option to restrict access to lobbies based on the # of games played, or a combination of the two?

        Number of games played doesn't reflect well on your potential game quality and would have a heavier downside of restricting what new players can play, since they would be excluded due to not investing enough time playing even if they study and try their best to play well.

          true skill does continue to add a rating level points towards the player rating doesn't it Nomander? Sorry to bump the thread, I am meaning to gauge how getting high numbers of game can be useful.

              @wilson_ experience as you describe it is not really correlative of skill though is it wilson, and of a system that is measuring competence/ talent.

              It would be good to know the exact mechanics.

                "talent" is overrated. and if experience doesn't lead to more competent in-game decisions, ... i don't know how you'd call that, my man... i'd call it skill.

                  Only the first ~10 games are useful as they calibrate your rating from 1500+/-1500 to your actual skill +/- 300.
