Question I have. Not sure I heard a rumor about it but I haven’t been able to see it in action. How does the rating system work?

It makes sense since the average is 1500

Has anyone made a calculator to see how we could measure it?

@SomeDebatePerson, @Savant

Pretty sure a standard elo calculator works here, unless some value is changed for this site


I'll ping Savant to be sure

Everyone fears debating me because debating me is "win nothing, lose everything" elo scenario.

I used the calculator and no one should lose too much elo. You won’t gain that much elo either. All it does is harm others. It doesn’t benefit you.

Elo went to 1497. Intresting.

It is still below 1500. Put more effort.

Ties don’t affect rating I guess.
