These emails we receive after a win are pointless.
They only contain data about the losing player - who wants or cares!
Overall there are too many stats and even rankings should be flipped around. Wouldn’t you rather rank #1 rather than #1000 or whatever a higher number suggests as a higher ranked player. Yes to this concept!
The only information about the losing player in the "Congratulations, you've won the game '****'" is their contribution to *your* ranking change.
i.e., in the first message below, I am told that:
ALSO, note that the 'win' email and the 'lose' email are identical in structure -- both emails reflect the contribution by the losing player.
i.e., in the second message below:

Thanks for explaining Agwyvern.
I'm not clear on MrPlaya:
Wouldn’t you rather rank #1 rather than #1000 or whatever a higher number suggests as a higher ranked player.
That is how it works. If you are rank #1, you are the best on the site. Now there is also a ranking score, where higher is better, maybe that's the point of confusion?

No problem :-) (well, other than my double-posting by accident --- sorry about that).
I'm sure that's the case about the rank confusion.
In a tiny nutshell --- you have a "ranking SCORE" (the higher the better) which is used to determine your "RANK" (the lower the better).
