Elo Ratings
|
The Elo Ratings for the 4chan Cup were created in the attempt to create a more precise ranking system to reflect the strength of the 4chan Cup teams.
A teams's Elo rating is represented by a number which increases or decreases based upon the outcome of games between rated teams. After every game, the winning team takes points from the losing one. The difference between the ratings of the winner and loser determines the total number of points gained or lost after a game. In a series of games between a high-rated team and a low-rated team, the high-rated team is expected to score more wins. If the high-rated team wins, then only a few rating points will be taken from the low-rated team. However, if the lower rated teamscores an upset win, many rating points will be transferred. The lower rated team will also gain a few points from the higher rated team in the event of a draw. This means that this rating system is self-correcting. A team whose rating is too low should, in the long run, do better than the rating system predicts, and thus gain rating points until the rating reflects their true playing strength.
WILL BE CHANGED AFTER THE SUMMER CUP TO SHOW THE POST-ELO RATINGS --->
