Implementing a Ranking System

[Pudgetalks]

Whats the best way to implement a ranking system/elo rating off of Tournament results.
I tried implementing an Elo ranking by hand and it took me a good 3 hours to do one 60 man tournament, which I don't think I could keep up every week.

Can that be used exclusively to rank people attending my local tourneys?

Oh, I see what you mean now. No, it can't, but you could however use Google Docs for it, and make it accessible from everywhere.

Look up SkillKeeper here on SmashBoards, specifically under Tournament Discussion. Alternatively, go to OnlineSSB, where you can do it online. For the latter, it can be accessed online, which is nice, and it allows you to make it so that the K-value adjusts itself, but it lacks rating decay and the ability to upload from Challonge and TioPro.

Thanks for all the help guys, SKill Keeper looks perfect

The capability is there, The Break Smash has subleagues for their Melee Rankings and WiiU Rankings. As of now I believe we are the only ones with a subleague for our series and this feature is not yet open to other tournaments. In the near future possibly?

Just saw this, elorankings.com now allows for upload from tiopro or any .tio file. So tiopro and advancedbrackets can be imported into the rankings to mass update them. As far as challonge goes, if challonge brackets can be exported to .tio then they can be imported into elorankings. If there are any other file types and formats that people would like elorankings to support please let me know and I can work on implementing them. I've also added a few new features to the site so check it out. There is no rating decay, but managers of the rankings can update the qualified game minimum to allow people to filter the rankings by qualified players.

I think there needs to be a way to add in rating decay as well as import from Challonge (that's one of the main appeals of SkillKeeper), but other than that I think it's a pretty solid site.
