Elo Rating System

The Elo rating system is a mathematical method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in competitive games or sports. Originally developed by physicist Arpad Elo for chess, it’s now widely used across many competitive fields.

How It Works:

Core Concept 🎯

• Each player has a numerical rating (typically starting around 1200-1500)
• Higher numbers indicate stronger players
• Players gain/lose rating points based on match results

Advantages:

✅ Self-correcting – Ratings adjust over time
✅ Relative measurement – Compares players directly
✅ Mathematically sound – Based on probability theory
✅ Simple concept – Easy to understand fundamentals
