How are these ratings worked out? What are they based on?
I did try a forum search and couldn't find an answer.
Thanks =d

As you can see it's a fairly new system and all they have in there are some GSL games. | ||

Backpack's answer was vague though, is there a detailed explanation on how elo is worked out? | ||

Looks like the ELO is based at 2000, and increases/decreases with games played against race X. That's all I gleaned from a quick look at numbers :/ | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system The most important thing to take away is that the rating itself doesn't mean anything. It's the difference between two players ratings that gives you useful information regarding the likelyhood of a games possible outcomes. | ||

It's the difference between two players ratings that gives you useful information regarding the likelyhood of a games possible outcomes. Bingo. All generalized ratings systems (like Elo, Glicko, and TrueSkill) are descendants of L.L. Thurstone's work in the 1920's on finding ways of quantifying the 'sense distance' between various stimuli. The Bradley-Terry-Luce (or BTL) models, formulated in 1952, built on that foundation and came up with an easy to implement approach which made it possible to quantify ratings of things (in this case the taste of pork roasts based on what types of corn rations the pigs were given) from the preferences of judges given pairs of roasts to compare (i.e., 'sample A tastes better than B'). Soon thereafter, Arpad Elo - a master chess player - decided he could use this general approach to improve chess player ratings, which were using the shitty Harkness system up till that point. Thus, in 1959, the Elo Rating System was born, which is not much different from BTL except that it assumes skill is normally-distributed (instead of logistically distributed) and that variance in skill is constant across all players. The latter condition is a key point of contention with the Elo system, and so in the 80's/90's, Mark Glickman devised the Glicko rating system, which allows each player's skill variance to vary according to their match history. And building on this framework, Ralf Herbrich and Thore Graepel blew the whole thing wide open with TrueSkill, a factor graph-based approach which handles teams (and arbitrary numbers of them), and is the primary skill rating system used in Xbox Live today. So there you go. | ||
