isn't ELO rating system a very broad term for a certain type of rating systems? what was the mechanic behind the ELO used in the sunday contest?

What is (ELO) and the (ơ) symbol that is next to the Average?

What is (ELO) and the (ơ) symbol that is next to the Average?

ELO
A rating system, widely used in chess, best applicable for head-to-head competitions.

ơ (lowercase sigma)
Used for a lot of things, but here for standard deviation.

yeah, but even in chess they use different types of ELO systems (USCF, FIDE, online servers). which one is used here.

when viewing a profile, the only thing that shows up is "best average" and "ELO", it would be really cool if there was avg12/5/single

i like this idea too. maybe even a lifetime average.

I can see ELO is a rating system. But rating how?

I can see ELO is a rating system. But rating how?

this is my guess from looking at the ratings after the first week: everyone started out at a rating of 800. each weak, they compare there scores with everyone simultaneously. For people with equal rating (this week) a win is +16 points, a loss is -16 points, and a draw is 0. just add up all the points from "playing" everyone to your previous score and you'll have your rating. This is why the ratings, at this moment, are separated by 32 points. I'm guessing a difference of 800 rating means the higher rated person gains no points for winning and the lower rated loser loses no points for losing. 200 rating is the lowest you can go. for non equal rating matchups, it's the same type of thing. just how much points gained or lossed has to do with difference in rating and result. every difference of 50 points, there is a change in rating change possibilies. a difference of 100 points means the change in ratings will be 18 and -18 if the lower rated player win, if he loses -14 and 14. for 200 points, -12 and 12 or 20 and -20. and so on until a difference of 800 rating where only the upset result will change anybodies rating or some is at the 200 floor.


using this, i guess, if cuboy wins again for 3x3, his rating will be around (26*8)+2528=2736
If he loses to Anson: 24*7+15-16+2528=2695
if he loses to Anson and Kclejejeune: 24*7-31+2528=2665


this is very much like the glicko ELO system. thus i hypothesize that the max point one can win or lose due to a single matchup is 32

Is there anyway that the ranking could also show times? I see it's based on how well you've done ever, but could it show best average or single? Because if you click on the ranking the best times aren't in order.

Hello I have recently participated in sunday contest and my last weeks result in clock i have marked 2 of the solves as DNF but it does not show it on the results page as DNF(same thing happened on pyraminx week before) I think you need to fix this and if you are fixing my results just mark my 2 best clock and 2 best pyraminx solves as DNF. Thanks!

 

[brandbest1]

Will anything be done about the abnormal 4x4 and Pyraminx scrambles?

Also, how do I view my average/individual times after I submit?

 

[timeless]

how do i check my times after i pressed submit? i dont see it on my profile yet

 

[giorgi]

you should fix DNF option so when submitting time and marking as DNF in the results it will not just display the time you have marked as DNF
