ELO
The Elo rating system is a simple method to estimate the relative ability of participants in zero-sum games. All participants start with an initial ELO Rating of , unless a specific division is assigned differently, at the beginning of the season.
Participants exchange points based on the outcome of a match where a participant who does better then expected improves their rating while a participant that does worse lowers their rating.
