A player's Elo rating is represented by a number which increases or decreases depending on the outcome of games between rated players. After every game, the winning player 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 player and a low-rated player, the high-rated player is expected to score more wins. If the high-rated player wins, then only a few rating points will be taken from the low-rated player. However, if the lower rated player scores an upset win, many rating points will be transferred. The lower rated player will also gain a few points from the higher rated player in the event of a draw. This means that this rating system is self-correcting. A player 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.

I'm surprised ELO hasn't made its way into sports with more affect.

It's good for sports with lots of teams and lots of games. I think CBB is right on the edge of being good for it. NBA, MLB, Hockey, College Basketball and Baseball are good sports for it to be used.

I thought Elo was more of a predictor than a player rating. Learned something new.

In real basketball, we're not last. We're only 12th.
Run along, nerd boy.

Jeff Sagarin uses the Elo system for NCAA football and his poll was part of the BCS formula. ( 1 of 6 of the computer polls.)

Saw ELO in concert once...I suspect they lip synched.

They’re pretty dang talented and if anyone can make them sound clean it’s Jeff Lynne. Who knows though. Disappointing if so.

I liked the show...just a suspicion, not sure.
