i have been thinking on this question forever: how can a system be made for scoring when when higher rank defeats lower rank?

i finally found a cool system that seems to always hold up, and is based on the absolute skill of the defeated player, as gathered from his record. heres the formula:

ok, say player 1=p1 player 2=p2
p1 has a higher rank than p2
p1 wins: points=

(P2's points)
----------------------------------- -- 3 x (rank difference)
2 x (p2's games played)
