Title: ELO Calculator?
Post by: Hobbiton Lad on March 19, 2010, 01:23:10 PM

Anyone know a good utility I can use to calculate ELO rankings? I'm trying to get all my tournament resources together so I can really start drumming up interest in competitive play around here again.

It's the rating system used for international chess players. It's also the same system Decipher used for LotR rankings.

And I was hoping more for something where I could plug in players and have it automatically make the calculations. Alas, I guess that's something I'll have to look into coding myself.

That thread has the formulas, yes. I know those.

I actually found a PHP script to do the calculations. I'll just set it up on my web hosting and use it to update player ratings.

Will you share the PHP? Also, does it calculate SOS?
