          Win games to earn trophies. A win against a person is worth about 30; a loss costs 6 in Bronze and more at each rank, up to 34 in Pro; a win against Matt at your rank’s level or harder pays a few. Bronze to Platinum are never lost once reached.

            Every 50 trophies is a division, and three divisions make a rank. Diamond and above can drop, never below Platinum. Pro has no divisions: Pro players are placed by the global leaderboard.
