A player's conservative rank is a convenient way of expressing a player's skill reating as a single number.  A good analogy for conservative rank is 'we are 99% certain the player is not ''less'' skill than this'.
 
Conservative rank is the rank that is displayed in-game.
 
If you're a new player the system isn't too sure about what your rank is, so it deducts an amount from your rank proportional to the uncertainty about your rank. As you play more games the uncertainty factor decreases, and ConRank more closely matches your true rank.

The formula is:
 
<div align="center"><math>\text{conservative rank} = \mu - 3 \times \sigma</math></div>
