ELO and Other Rating Systems; Private Ladder

**Arjos** · 09-09-2010, 23:06

I know that the system counts wins and losses, but it's not always about black pieces against white ones that was my point...
You'll end up havin' a flawed chart...

It's a ratings system, not a fashion magazine. It's based on the ELO rating system and weighs wins and losses by the difference in ratings between the two players, whether or not they are provisional (under 30 games), whether the game is a simple rated game (such as monthly tourneys), or whether the game is an annual major event such as a cup. Nothing is flawless; flaws and imperfections are themselves what make this world perfect.

No you didn't mention that. You just said you did non-programming work. And that sucks 'cause if Excel can't do this for me, including an interactive plug-in system with prompts, etc., then I'll have to start programming this baby ASAP.

EDIT: You're frequently AFK so...write me back on Hamachi bro.

Done the frame of the application and the data import . now i'm working on implementing the formulas and make it auto-update + a nice pic which shows the ladder.

Quite tricky challenge for excel & VBA , but hope it comes out right.

Hello guys ,

Sorry for the lack of news , but i've been moving my home and thus disconnected from internet. Also work was hell , so the tool is a bit behind. I apologise about that , but i promise it will be finished although cant say exactly when.

thanks

No worries. I have to update the formula screenshot as the hotlink isn't working properly. Will edit when completed.
