You get points for winning games. You lose points for losing games. You get more points if you beat someone who has way more points than you. You lose more points if you lose to someone who has say less points than you. The amount of points you have put you in tiers with titles. Kinda like, if you score 90% in score in school you get an A+. You can get the Grand Master Title at 2500 elo (I think).
