UPDATES
5/4/2019
Main updates:
- Using this new version 1.0.0.6, the program should no longer crash when attempting to add new content to an older elo system database version.
- Added a team filter option to the player stats list (see image in spoiler below).
- Ranks in the player stats list are now automatically updated when games are added or removed from the database.
- Fixed a bug that meant that the win ratio shown was not always the correct one.
4/1/2019
I have made a few updates to the program. The main updates are:
- the data base now correctly handles older matches being entered later than matches from more recent dates. However, matches from the same date still needs to be entered in the order in which they were played.
- the GUI can now display map stats and player stats (see new images in spoiler below)
Note:
- matchup percentages in map stats are corrected for the elo rating of the players, so a 5-5 statistics for TvZ, for example, could show below 50% if the terran players had much lower rating in those matches.
- the "Development" column in player stats shows the player's development in main elo rating over the past four months.
You can download the data base files here.

For anyone interested I have uploaded the full data base and image resources I have developed during the previous six months or so. Probably some nice information there for STPL team captains and others :-)
The folder "EloSystems" with the data base files should be placed as a sub folder to file where the SCElosystemGUI.exe file is placed.
ORIGINAL POST
As part of a bigger project I am working on, I have written some software that can calculate elo ratings for StarCraft players. It currently has a very simple GUI that allows you to add players, maps etc. and start reporting match results, and the program will calculate the Elo Ratings.
The primary features of the software are:
- calculates elo ratings for SC players
- both seperate elo ratings for each type of opponent (Z, T, P and Random) and one overrall rating
- easy to use UI for reporting match results
- allows for adding visual content (national flags, pictures of maps and players, tournament logos)
- calculates map statistics for the different races matchups
- corrects map statistics from players' elo ratings
- mechanisms for quick elo rating calibration based on the first games entered into the data base
- and more to come, the project is work in progress...
It is an open source project, and everyone should feel free to use it and/or contribute.
If you would like just to try it out, you can get the program here
If you would like to contribute or pull the source code, you can find it on github here
The following are some screen shots from the program. :-)

Holy shit this looks sick. Great stuff.

How did you feed in the player and match data?
|
That was a really great idea! I tried it out and it works very good. My only problem with it is that it doesn't take the date of the matches into account when calculating elo. Everything else is great!

Yes, it will just take the matches in the order they are entered. That needs to be changed.
There is currently a workaround. The list with matches always shows the matches ordered by their DateTime. After entering these in random order and wanting the elo rating to be correctly calculated after the dates when games were played, then do the following:
1) Under the "Report Match" tab select "Edit" as the select Mode. Now you can select and edit previous entered matches.
2) Now select the match with the "oldest" date and change something about it, but do not change its date. For example, change one of the results.
3) Click the button that says "Keep changes"
4) Now select the same match again, and change it back to how you actually want it.
5) Again, click the "Keep changes" button.
At step (3) and (5) above the program will destroy all entries in the data back to and including the one that was edited (keeping a working copy of them in memory), and then reenter them in order of their date and recalculate all elo ratings. Effectively, this gives you elo ratings calculated after dates where matches were played.
If you can't see all the matches in the "Recent Match Report" list, you can currently only fix this by opening the "SCEloSystemGUI.exe.config" in notepad, and change the number of matches are put into the list. Look up the part saying:
<setting name="NoRecentMatches" serializeAs="String">
<value>110</value>
</setting>
And change the 110 value to however big a number will ensure you see as much as you want.
Its a workaround, until I get it fixed.

HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM AND ENTER DATA
I entered in the data manually (using the program's UI) as I watched the matches or looked up results in cases where some matches weren't streamed.
You can report matches to the data base as long as you have two players, the races they played and who won. Map, tournament, and season are always optional.
If by "you", you mean "how someone should" do it, the steps are:
1) Before entering any matches, you need to enter the players into the data base. You do this under the "Add Player" tab. You minimally need to enter a name and then click the "Add to system" button.
2) If you would like to enter the players associated country or team, you first need to enter that country or team into the data base. You do this under the "Add Country" and "Add Team" tabs. After doing this, the country and team will now appear as options to choose from the the respective combo boxes in the "Add or edit player" section.
3) If you would like to set the map a match was played on (and have the data base begin storing map statistics), you need to enter maps into the data base. Create new maps under the "Add Map" tab.
4) Before you can select a tournament as a context for your match report, you need to enter that tournament into the data base. This is done under the "Add Tournament & Seasons" tab. Once you have added a tournament, you can (also under "Add Tournament & Seasons" tab) begin to add different seasons for each tournament.
5) As soon as you have at least two players to select, you are able to report a match. Map, Tournament and Season are all optional. Match reports are added under the "Report Match" tab. There are two modes: "Add new" allows you to add new matches, and "Edit" allows you to select already reported matches from the "Recent Match Reports" on the right and edit them. Select the two players in the combo boxes ("Player 1" and "Player 2" - it is not important for elo ratings who is player 1 or 2). Set the Match Context (Tournament, Season, and Date) as you want it. Now click the "Add Game" button to add as many games as the match consists of. Select the races, and maps (if known) for each game, and click the radio buttons to indicate who won. When done, click the "Enter Report" button at the top of the tab window the enter the match into the data base. If the button is disabled, you either failed to select two players, set races for all games, or have games where the winner is not set.
When you select the race for a player in one game, all other games will be set to the same race (this generally saves you a lot of clicking). However, when a winner has been reported for a game, changing a players race in other games, will no longer affect games where you have already set the winner. This comes in handy, in the rare cases where a player actually changed races between games.

It looks like you need to manually give the program the rights to make changes on your hard drive (create a save file). This can be done by running the program with administrator rights.
Steps to solve the problem:
1) Locate the SCEloSystemGUI.exe file (should be located in a folder named "SC Elo System Setup").
2) Right click on the file and select "properties" from the drop down menu.
3) Select the "Compatibility" tab
4) Check the box saying something like "Run as administrator"
Please let me know if the problem persists after this.

Where we can see the standings of the ELO after adding players/match and everything?
|
That's really great tool - played a bit with it this weekend.
The only thing I miss is some kind of export functionality so to easily report standings and share data with stakeholders/particpants.
Kudos !

Currently, the program mainly has functionality in terms of entering and editing data in the data base. List showings of ranks, player ranked lists, map stats, head to head stats, player by map stats, player rating change over time etc. are all to come step by step when I get the time.
Atm you can only see players' ratings by selecting them individually in the combo boxes on the match report screen, so it is still somewhat cumbersome to compare player rankings.

As described in my edit of the original post, I have as of today uploaded a new version with better stats displays in the UI. It's not an april's fool.

I get an error message everytime i try to add a new player or tournament that says "The object reference was not set to an object instance."
Edit: It only happened when i used an elo System from the old Version
I created a new one and it works now

Should be fixed now with version 1.0.0.6

As described in the original post above, a new update fixing some bugs and adding functionality is now available.
|
VERSION 1.0.1.1 IS NOW AVAILABLE WITH SEVERAL GREAT IMPROVEMENTS!
I can't edit my original post, but please refer to that post for links to the installation files and a database file and a file with graphical content. There is also a new database uploaded with more players and data from all the big tournaments since last update.
Improvements to the program include:
- new player profile page displaying player info, individual statistics, rating development, overall performance as well as specific map performance (example below)
- easy accessed head-to-head statistics
- an A to F ranking system based on the elo ratings (U ranking when a player's activity does not meet the criteria for being ranked)
- much easier options to edit matches after they have been added to the database
- activity filter for the player stats ranking list
- search option for quickly locating players on the player stats ranking list
