Challenges & XP points

Question

Why do you lose so many xp points if you lost a challenge? (even if the opponent has one correct question over you), while only 4 or 6 (or something arround) points if you win the challenge.
I know that level of opponent determines how many points will be earned if you win, but 29-31 points if you lose ? how?

Answer 1

It depends on the xp of the opponent in that particular language...

Answer 2

BRKOTTA In short if u challenge an opponent having XP less than u , u will lose
how much ??
if the xp difference between u & ur opponent is more than 2000xp
for eg.: u = 5000xp
opponent <=3000xp
U r going to get -32xp as match result...

Answer 4

Its high risk high reward. If you challenge someone with a higher level they risk alot more xp than someone with 1000xp to their name. There might be an algorithm somewhere. But for now imagine this:
You vs lvl 2 = 3-4 xp reward
You vs lvl 13 = 40-50 xp reward

It gives insentive to higher levels to take the challenge and it prevents lower levels from leveling insanely fast

Answer 5

Coming In Second ok, but that's when you win why do you lose a lot of points (28-32) if you lost the challenge even if your opponent isn't in really high levels ?
