It's actually just an issue with the current formula for calculating elo's. When FoxLisk created the site, it was mostly for the database and the Elo's were added as an afterthought. That's one of the reasons I'm helping out with the project, as I have spent over 6 years playing competitive tournament chess (the origin of Elo). For now you can really just disregard the Elo's and we will have them accurately corrected as soon as we can. As always we appreciate your feedback.
I mean that if I won a set against Mango in 2005 my new elo really shouldn't be calculated using Mangos current Elo but Elo Mango then had.
I already remade it and send the link to FoxLisk earlier today.
these are good to go
It's actually pretty easy, at least doing the dumbest form of it. Read the wikipedia article on ELO scores and then imagine it in pseudocode and you'll have the idea.
I wanted to point this out too but didn't want to be a **** lol. Thanks for taking one for the teamI think you guys actually shouldn't combine Mango and Scorpion Master's Elo.
no but srs. :srs: **** that's not a face
I also think there's a big misconception going around that Elo is an acronym. It isn't. It never has been and never was. And no other community I've seen capitalizes each letter. It's just Elo. ELO no es bueno.
WOW this is worth the double post. Brandan I didn't know you posted on smashboards! You're such a troll lol. Come to Missouri and play smash with mefoxlisk you are making smash history
and i didn't read much in this thread but i bet zivilynbane is either causing trouble or trying to help
how's life in the midwest? it's been hella days haha
MikeMonkey and Kage are on there
Yeah that missing pools problem hasn't been fixed yet. It's stupid if you get your Elo lowered for getting to bracket in big tournament and then losing more than 50% of your sets in bracket.
That's not the systems fault. Mango didn't play his pool matches. That's why I changed the name to Mango-np, because it's not really Mango and those matches won't count against the real Mango's Elo score.
I uploaded BEAST 2, Tampora 2, Kosteusmittari and Gamer Meetup STHLM few days ago, but they aren't prosecced yet..
Ok I put this in the backroom topic but forgot to put it here.
Any idea what causes the tiofiles to not work? So far every one of my uploads have been corrupted, even though I have no problems whatsoever with the files. I actually had to remade the Tampora 3 file three times before it got processed.
Are you using tio pro? Not sure if that would make a difference or not. Could you do me a favor and email me your .tio files?Any idea what causes the tiofiles to not work?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the date formating. All these tournaments are either yours or mine, and I wouldn't be surprised if your OS wasn't set in English.Any idea what causes the tiofiles to not work?

If people have duplicate names, you could tag some sort of modifier onto the end of their name based on something they likely won't have in common. You could do states (Bones_MD vs. Bones_VA), but then you have to deal with people moving and ****. Maybe birth year, and on the off chance THAT is duplicated, you could tack on the month (Bones_990 vs. Bones_189 = Bones born in Sep 1990 vs. Bones born in Jan 1989).
