Why is someone with fewer wins, or has played in far fewer events, ranked ahead of me?
“How is it possible that a player with a 7-3 record is ranked ahead of me with a 19-2 record?” The reason is that STAR places higher weight on “exposure to quality opponents.” Such wins are called “significant wins.” Who you lose to is also important. Losses to players ranked below you, called “significant losses,” will hurt your ranking much more than losing to players ranked above you.
