Hello Karinsdad,
It's 32 for 0-2099,24 for 2100-2399 and 16 for over 2400 (K).  But the bottom
line as I see it is this.  If your winning expectancy does not match the WE in
the formula guess what.  They change your rating so that it does.  So if you
continue to play someone 400 points above you and you don't eventually get your
win or draw in x number of games you are no longer 400 points below.  Therefore
to stay 400 points below someone your WE must match the formula.  It's true you
can't play even one game and lose and stay exactly 400 points below because by
virtue of the loss you drop 1 point and this continues untill you get your due
win. Then you are back where you started.  At least I think that's the way it's
supposed to work.
