i am on 125 points , Iplay and lose a double game, immediately replay the same player , I win a double game . we finish 2 games each. I end up 8 points down at 117, they end up 8 points better off. surely we should be on the same score as we were when we started? winning 2 games each.
Hi ken49,
The points you receive or lose depend on your opponent's points. 
If you win against someone with a higher score than yours, you'll receive more points 
than if you win against someone with a lower score than yours.
