Did we solve your problem today?

The Elo system updates ratings based on results versus the expected outcome.

The math behind it

Expected score = 1 ÷ (1 + 10^((B−A)/400)). New rating = old + K·(actual − expected). Beating a higher-rated opponent gains more.

1600 beats 1500 (K 32) → gains ~12.2 points.

What is the K-factor?

How fast ratings change — higher K means bigger swings per game.
