Ties are considered a negative result for the higher ranked player, in terms of their ELO (they should have beat you, and they weren't able to). Hence, the higher ranked player will lose ELO in a tied situation (and the lower ranked will gain).

There is HUGE card of the distribution of chips that covers at least 80% of my mobile device screen keeping me from seeing well enough to play. If I scroll I can see tiny bits of the game in the areas around this card but the card stays front and center and never gets smaller or allows me to really ...

Thanks. Here is what happened when I clicked the ?
