ELO Recalculated

[Steel God]

As a result of reported discrepancies in ELO ratings, they have been recalculated from scratch on all ladders, as a result you may notice a shift in several points up or down in your ranking, but the current number is correct.

Thank you to those who reported the errors.

Oh yeah................well mines too low :-)

When you say recalculated, does that mean using the same formula? Or did you add or subtract something from the formula?

Recalculated using the same formula to insure they are correctly represented, essentially what happens is the algorithm wipes out the existing ELO scores and rebuilds them from the ground up.

Now that we're aware of the miscalculation that is caused by erroneous double submissions of game reports we will simply incorporate an ELO recalculation into our regularly scheduled maintenance routines, like ladder recalculations which are also done routinely and no one ever even notices.
