Player Levels Update: Scaling to 1000

If you've checked your profile or the leaderboard recently, you might have noticed that your player level looks a bit different. We've officially transitioned our player skill level system from a 100-point scale to a 1000-point scale.

📈 What changed?

The math is simple: everyone's level was multiplied by 10. If you were previously a level 65, you are now a 650. If you were a 72, you are now a 720. Your ranking and skill level relative to everyone else in the club remains exactly the same!

🤔 Why did we make this change?

As we've played more games and gathered more data, we realized the 1-100 scale was too restrictive. We needed a way to make smaller, more precise adjustments to a player's rating after every match.

• Finer-Grained Progress: Previously, winning or losing a match might not have been enough to bump you up or down a full point without using decimals. Now, we have more room to show incremental progress. A win might give you +12 points, allowing you to see your improvement steadily over time.
• Better Matchmaking: With more points to work with, our matchmaking algorithms can better differentiate between players of similar skill, leading to closer, more competitive games.

This change sets the foundation for more accurate and rewarding skill tracking moving forward. Keep playing and watch those numbers climb!
