Step 2 - Chronological game evaluation

Then, all tournament games are evaluated in order of time: For every played game within a series, the winner takes points from the loser according to the Elo formula:

Elo is objective

Instead of manually having to decide which match, tournament or opponent was important or difficult, Elo automatically takes care of the point distribution and is free of personal bias. The more matches are included, the more accurate it gets.

It stays up-to-date

Elo automatically weights recent results heavier than older ones. This way, we can also measure at what point in time a player's Elo was higher or lower during is career (see the player profiles).

A player can't boost his rating by "noob bashing"

If a strong player (i.e. a player with a high Elo number) wins against a weaker opponent, he is only awarded a small number of points. However, if the weaker player wins, he gets alot. This way, the Elo difference of two players stabilizes given enough matches, reflecting the true "skill gap".
