Does anyone have the formula for the old ELO scoring system. Old as in based on position only, before the dominace was added.

at 9:52 PM, Wednesday July 11, 2007 EDT The initial ELO rating system took into account only the final places at the end at the game, players getting more points for placing higher. A seemingly obvious problem is that it rewarded a "hiding strategy" (players with a couple of territories outlasting stronger players, often by trucing with the current leading player), while penalizing opponents that fought for the top spots but were quickly defeated by an alliance or the dominant player.
I assume this is from the Glicko sysem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_rating_system Is this correct? |

It was the elo formula: Ea = 1/(1+10^(Rb-Ra)/400) I think the score formula was: R'a = Ra + 32(Sa - Ea) I think the 10 and 32 were changed to 5 and 16. Cheers! |
