Wow! Old thread!
The original numbers were surmised from the old rankings. Scroll down on this page to season 1: http://www.shadowera.com/rankings.php Yes, they likely are off.

Then why are 220+ rated players facing off against 100 rated players, these two ate nowhere near the same level....and which the hell has a 400+ rating...come on really? Why not have a system as in professional sports where there is W-L and a W% that way people who are consistently winning will match up to others who are winning and not beating up on people who are just starting out ir are in a losing slump....idk about anyone else but I don't like to drop a couple game then be torn apart by a pro. This is demoralizing and may cause people to leave the game.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Die, You are forgiven. If I Live, I will kill you." Such is the Rule of Honor.
What you are suggesting is a score system and the OP already pointed out Ratings are not scores but a system that gives a "confidence" value on your person. It gauges how 'skilled' a player is, not how many wins/losses/draws he or she has but rather how the system 'expects' you to perform.
Let me quote on this so you can better understand what it is doing
