So your elo is probably the best of all players but your rank is crap. You MUST play against a good player with a good rank to get a good rank.
I think rank is elo based, but it doesn't take effect right on moment's notice. However, in longer time rnak would adjust to elo and I tihnk they're very much elo based (sorry, if I'm wrong).
Btw "jade76540 1607.5" I think it's a bug or something, because oter people in raking have very high 1700+ elo and have been sorted by elo. This is a total misfit, I think.
Speaking of elo, it's totally not just 2-spots-per game.
For example I played really bad and lazy yesterday and lost my rank from 3k to 18k (and I did it in under 100 games, I think)
