Re: Elo Leader Board for IRI

kstl99: Yes, I have results for every team that attended The Championships.

XaulZan11: The Elo Algorithm essentially assigns each team a number representing their skill, the higher the skill number the better the skill (theoretically). When two teams play each other, it determines the skill number "payoff" for each team playing based on their chances of winning statistically, and changes their skill based on that.

Chris is me: The teams in the finals do play teams that are higher in skill, however, because both teams in the finals are high in skill, they don't receive a disproportionate share of points. The Teams that play through to the finals do get more chances to play, but because they are equally matched, the skill numbers should remain indicative of the skill. For example, if a team with very high skill beat a team with low skill, they would receive very low bonuses because it is a expected result.
