How it works

How matches, ratings, and progression work in Scio.

Competitive system

Win or lose points based on match results. How much you gain or lose depends on your opponent's rating.

  • Beat a higher-rated opponent — bigger rating gain
  • Lose to a lower-rated opponent — bigger rating drop
  • Trade with equal rating — ±~16 points
Typical points per match: ±10–32, adjusted by opponent skill

Matchmaking

We match you with opponents close to your skill level. If no one is available, we fall back to AI quickly.

🎯

Skill-based matching

Opponents within ±100 rating of yours. Search window expands if no one is available, so you won't wait long.

⚡

Fast fallback to AI

After 8-12 seconds, we match you with an AI opponent (labeled clearly). No waiting in queues.

AI matches count toward rating — just like real matches
