Any finished Outlier Live game with two or more players counts, except the 9 PM Live Daily, which keeps its own table. To count, you play from the first round, lock at least one word and are still there at the end.
You're measured against each other player in the room. Outscore someone and you gain; finish below them and you drop. Beating a higher-rated player is worth more.
One game moves you by at most 40 points during your first 10 games, and at most 20 after that. Until then you're marked provisional.
The top score on your own is a win, a shared top score is a draw, and anything below the top is a loss.
The board lists everyone who played a rated game in the month. Your rating carries over from one month to the next. All time lists everyone who has ever played a rated game, on the rating they have today.
Best win is the highest rating you've outscored in a single game.
