ELO rankings - what can you gain or lose
  • TnT at 2005-08-28

    Thanks for the help fixing my math - my spreadsheet now works. This helps me understand what one can gain or lose in a give match, and I thought others might find it useful as well. Note, these points are for streetsoccer. O-Y is your opponents ranking - your ranking. Thus a negative number means he is better than you. win(d) is a win in extra time. Thus if you play someone ranked 300 points lower than you (-300) and lose, you will lose 27 points. Winning will only gain you 5 points. Hope this helps others as it helped me

    (O-Y) win lose win(d) lose(d) draw

    -300……5…..-27…..-2……-21…….-8

    -250……6…..-26……0……-19…….-7

    -200……8…..-24……1……-18…….-5

    -150……9…..-23……3……-16…….-3

    -100…..12…..-20……5……-14…….-1

    -50…..14…..-18……7……-12……..1

    0…..16…..-16…..10……-10……..3

    50…..18…..-14…..12…….-7……..5

    100…..20…..-12…..14…….-5……..8

    150…..23……-9…..16…….-3…….10

    200…..24……-8…..18…….-1…….12

    250…..26……-6…..19……..0…….13

    300…..27……-5…..21……..2…….14

    The math:

    change = 32*(R-E)/M

    M= max result (5 in streetsoccer)

    R = result of match (5 for win, 4 for win draw, 0 for loss, etc)

    E = expected result

    = M/(1+10^((O-Y)/400))

    where O = opponents ranking, Y = your ranking
