It's true for both of you, but if I remember, there is another bug whit the k factor, calculating all games.

i read for 4 players, it is 2/3 k-factor = 40 not 20
i think we need a very clear explication by admin to explain exactly how works K factor

Or by the developer? Maybe he have put a older code of the game and calculating 20 of factor for the one who have won over the majority of the players? 🤔

This is only if the game is best (as defined by bga) with 4 or more players. Since this game is best with 2 (as defined by bga) then the K-factor (for your first 11 games) will be decreased to 20 for a 4 player game (would be 30 for 3 players and 60 for 2 players or in general 60/# opponents).

It is a display bug that shows K-factor of 60 for the last two players.
