    @SoulPunisher: Did you have your placement matches? If so that would explain it.
    Otherwise it comes down to strength of opposition, and if they are "better" you get more points for beating them, and if they are "worse" then you lose more points for losing.

    It doesnt dude, the ranking system is so fucked up its not even funny. Also, heres a kicker, that number you are seeing as your "score" actually means nothing.

    if you're in bronze, tbh ranking doesn't really matter that much anyway. Everyone has lost a good number of matches at some point. Just focus on getting macro up and focus moreso on production of units/resources than specific strategies. I guarantee you if you do that, it'll carry you to gold very quick.

    ive been doing that, sometimes i even have 3 expansions before they even have their first up, and im producing corruptors and broodlords before they even try to attack me once, and i dominate with that, but like i said, 1 loss and all my points go bye bye, and im back to zero and back to rank 66 or 65, when i had a 6 or 7 win streak going on..very frustrating

    yeah i did my placement matches, but even if i lose to someone who is "better" than me i lose all my points, down to zero, no matter what, so basically i can never lose a match no matter how many points i have no matter how much better my opponent is, or im back to zero, its bullshit

    Every time I read one of these threads I wonder wtf game is everyone else playing?  Whenever my opponent is favored I gain more, lose less, and vice versa when I'm favored.  I've been playing this game since the beginning of the beta and never once can I recall that not being the case.
     
    I don't know, maybe Blizzard just hates Bronzers?

    When the game first came out there was a glitch where you barely got points for winning. If you are playing favored opponents and not getting points that might be the case. Check the battle.net support forums.
