When I checked after the game, the rating function was still unchecked? I have no clue how I lost points then. Do you have to confirm if it’s unrated after every game?

The loss before that draw was unrated. That loss did not change your rating.

The three games after were rated.
Did you create all these challenges?

You did play two unrated games today. The two games before the draw.
I think the state of the "Rated" switch should be remembered. I don't rely on that. I create a custom challenge every time to check the state of the switch.

The loss before the draw game I specifically hit the rated switch to unrated. The second game that was the draw, I didn’t check the rating switch…I thought it would stay on unrated. It seems like you have to check every game! The other games were rated because I had to get over 1400 again :-).
I guess my lesson is I need to check before every game I play!!! Thanks guys…
Hello, I decided to play a couple of unrated games without the pressure of rating points. The first game I lost and the second game was a draw. I noticed that my Rapid rating went down two points after both games. Is that supposed to happen? Can you still lose points when you play unrated games? It seems that I did. Does anyone know? Thanks...
