I have just toined Yahoo backgammon gaming. I would like to be rated in hopes of better play
After you have played twenty games, you should receive your rating.
The scoring is based on FIBS (First Internet Backgammon Server) calculations. I have pasted a link below; once there use Find [CTRL+F] and search for "Rating". It lays out how the system does the scoring.
I believe you have to play 20 games before being rated. But then after that you still start at a rating some people turn away. It is rude but eventually you will get the ranking you want.
