How it works?

A base ELO rating of 1400 is given to all the players.

When two players are compared, their ratings change according to the given formula.

ELO_DIFFERENCE = WINNER_CURRENT_ELO - LOSER_CURRENT_ELO

Expected = 1 / (10 ** (ELO_DIFFERENCE/400) + 1)

K = (10 if ROUNDS > 30, 20 if ROUNDS > 20, 30 if ROUNDS > 10, 40 if ROUNDS <= 10)

ELO_change = K * (1 - expected)

winner_ELO += ELO_change
loser_ELO -= ELO_change

TODO

• Implement variable K value
• Standings
• Add styling to standings
• Left and Right button to select players
• Database to have persistent ratings
  • Switch to mongoDB
• Responsive website
• Reduce image size for faster loading
• Better images without watermark
