I have not been able to figure out the ladder point system for YR. How does it work?

Ex, if you score 100pts and your oppenet score 50pts, do you get 50 pts?
What if you're the looser in the above situation? Do you loose 50 pts?

I've tried to search for this topic but have had no success. Please help me out. Thanks

This is as it was posted on the official Red Alert 2 site:

How are my points calculated?

The formula for determining your score amongst tens of thousands of other players is rather messy - but it works brilliantly! This scoring mechanism works in both Clan and single player games.

RN = RO + K(W - WE)

Where :

# RN is the new rating.
# RO is the old (pre-event) rating.
# K is a constant
# W is the score in the event (1 = win, 0 = loss).


K is the maximum number of points you can win or lose based upon the ranks of the players involved. It can range from 1 point to 64 points.

WE is the expected score derived from the following formula :

WE = 1 / (10 ^ (DR / 400) + 1)

# DR is the difference in ratings between players.


Players will never lose more than 10% of their total score during any game. All players start at 0 (zero) points and can never drop below 0 at any time.

It is derived from the Elo rating system, a common way of ranking people in a ladder (and not unique to Red Alert 2):
