FAQ:
"The inCup-Rankings (Overall- and Season-Rankings) are calculated on the ELO rating system. The ELO rating system is a method for calculating the skill levels of players and was originally invented as a chess rating system.

The ELO-number (short ELO) of a player is changed after every game, depending on the ELOs of the two players. The winning player will gain ELO-Points and the losing player will lose ELO-Points. A good player (with a high ELO) will only gain a few ELO points if he wins over a player with low ELO. But he will lose a lot of ELO-Points if he loses this game. If 2 Players with the same ELO will play each other, the winner will gain 25 ELO-Points and the loser will lose 25 ELO-Points. So there will always be a shift of ELO-Points from one player to another for every played game.

The ELO Calculation:

E = 1/(1+10^(-(R-Rother)/C2))

R: own ELO
Rother: ELO of your opponent
C2: Constant (currently 400)

Your ELO after the game is then:

Rnew = R + C1 * ( W - E )

C1: Constant (currently 50)
W: percentage of win (currently only 100% for win, 0% for loss)"

Players with high ranking got better position in bracked (they are favouririte) and they can play against togheter in late tournament`s etap.<br><br>Post edited by: Hurricane, at: 2007/10/14 00:13

1. elo ranking system - need!! +1
2. need lader, clanbase.ggl.com/rating.php?lid=2172

Quick question here:

Obviously, the teams (or players) need to start with a certain score. Where will this be taken from? The tournament orgas just assess this and type it in manually (from personal knowledge of the clan in question) or will everybody start off with the same points?

But guys, this will take some time and this is something I absolutely haven't got at the moment. Apart from some huge changes in my personal life, I also changed jobs and am relocating... and I am still thinking on how to proceed because Joomla 1.5 is coming soon and I don't just want to hack about in my components to just about make them work on 1.5. I am craving for something completely new and have some cool ideas already - even if some of them mean going away from joomla.

Cheers

For new teams it is possible to establish the account in 1000 or this parameter to store as a variable in a config
