  • ELO Rating System for TWD

    This is mainly Myth's work (obviously) Thanks Myth

    ----------------------
    Squads start off with 1000 rating points.
    When a TWD game has been played, the new rating of the squad will be determined by the following formula:

    New Rating = Old Rating + K(W-P)

    P = Probablitity of winning
    K = Maximum rating change
    W = 1 if the squad has won, W = 0 if the squad has lost


    P = 1 / (1 + 10^(-difference_in_ratings / 400))
    K = 50





    Example:
    wolvencreed (rating 1000) vs Pallies (rating 1400)



    first we'll calculate the probability of winning of wolvencreed over Pallies:
    difference_in_ratings = 1000-1400 = -400

    P = 1 / (1+10^(-(-400) / 400))
    P = 1 / (1+10^1)
    P = 1 / 11
    P = 0.09 = 9% chance of wolvencreed winning over Pallies.
    then ofcourse, the chance of Pallies winning over wolvencreed is 1-0.09 = 0.91 = 91%

    - Scenario: wolvencreed wins!
    so, for wolvencreed: W = 1
    new rating = old rating + K * (W-P)
    new rating = 1000 + 50 * (1-0.09)
    new rating = 1000 + 45.5 = 1046

    for Pallies: W = 0
    new rating = 1400 + 50 * (0-0.91) = 1400 + (-45.5) = 1354.5 = 1355



    -

    K (maximum rating change) is set to 50 in this example. We're considering to lower K when a squad plays more games.
    This is info concerning calculating the rating points for TWD. The quote was taken from an ancient post by Overstrand, and Guano thought it would be a good idea to sticky this, because enough people question about it every so often. So instead of staffers giving you a half-assed answer about it all, you can check it out here, if you didn't already know how the rating system works.

    This is also a great way to maximize the points your squad can earn, whilst comparing the amount of points that can be lost to any given squad.

                      TWD Calculator - Website

                      hey hey ....

                      Last season I wrote a php-script to calculate the matches
                      (for those who can't calculated that by hand :P or head :wacko: )

                      With the start of the new TWD-WebSite and TWSD I fixed some stuff
                      and added a SD-Calculator.

                      For now it's just a nice tool to play with for you,
                      but if ya battle for points close to the start of next TWL it might become useful ... :whistling:

                      here's the Link, notify me if it doesnt work ....TWD - Calculators

                      I fixed the missing Squads, if ya still find bugs mail me ....
