My rank in yesterday's contest is the same as the user with the username 'ygtsgt,' which is 3638. However, before the contest, his rating was 1365, while mine was 1297. Despite having a higher rating than me before the contest, he gained +92 rating points, whereas I only gained +74. Can someone explain why this happened? Am I misunderstanding something?
Ratings are calculated differently for new users who have given less than 6 contests. You can read about it in this blog https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/77890
