== How many points do I gain / lose for each game? ==


ELO points gains / losses depend on the level of your opponents, and your rank at the end of the game. Some examples:
The number of Elo points gained or lost in a game depends on (1) the Elo rating of your opponents, and (2) what place you achieve in the game (i.e. 1st place, 2nd place). For example:
* If you end the game at a better place than a player with a higher ELO, you gain a lot of points.
* If you end the game in a better position than a player with a higher Elo, you gain a lot of points.
* If you end the game at a better place than a player with a lower ELO, you gain less points.
* If you end the game in a better position than a player with a lower Elo, you gain fewer points.
* If you end the game at a worse place than a player with a lower ELO, you loose a lot points.
* If you end the game in a worse position than a player with a lower Elo, you lose a lot of points.
* And so on...
* And so on...

== Some advice ==


* There's no use beating players a lot weaker than you (not many points to win). Try to find opponents of your level: it's both more fun and more good for your ELO.
* There's little to be gained by beating players with an Elo rating a lot lower than yours. Try to find opponents with a similar Elo rating to yourself: it's both more fun and better for your Elo.
* The game rank is very important to calculate the ELO. This is the reason it is important to continue fighting for the second place during the game if you think you can't win.
* What place you achieve in a game is very important when calculating the Elo. This is why it is important to continue fighting for minor places in the game even if you think you can't win.
* The number of ELO points you can gain/lose during a game increases with the number of players. The maximum is reached when there is the "recommended number of players". Try to play games with this recommended number of players.
* The number of Elo points you can gain/lose during a game increases with the number of players. The maximum is reached when there is the "recommended number of players". Try to play games with this recommended number of players.
* When you are the first player to quit a game in progress, you loose as many points as if you would finish the game at the last place, plus an additional penalty of 10 points. Even if you are in a difficult situation, your interest is to play the game until the end - or concede the victory to your opponent.

== How is my Elo rating computed? ==
 
The BGA Elo system is directly based on the standard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system Elo rating system] in use for chess.


== How is my ELO ranking computed ? ==
The Elo system's main principle is the following: the Elo points difference between 2 players determines the probability of each of them winning an encounter. If two players have the same Elo, they have an equal (50/50) probability of winning. If one player has 400 more points than the other, his probability of winning is 90%. Elo points gains and losses will, over time, tend to adjust the Elo rating of each player to reflect the actual probability that either of them will win a particular encounter.

Some changes have been made to the Elo system used on BGA:
* During your first 30 games, your Elo rating is more "elastic": you can win (or lose) more points in each game. This way, your Elo rating converges faster to you "natural" rating.
* The original Elo rating system was designed for 2 player games. For games with more than 2 players, BGA considers (for the Elo rating) that you win a 2-player game against each opponent who placed below you, and that you lose a 2-player game against each who place above you.
* Games with more than 2 players last longer. For this reason, there are more points to win (or lose) in such games... as long as the number of players does not exceed the "advised number of players" for that game.


The ELO system main principle is the followin: the ELO points difference between 2 players determines the probability of each of them to win the encounter. If two players has the same ELO, their probability to win are 50/50. If one player has 400 more points than the other, his probability to win is 90%. ELO points gains and losses after each game tend to adjust ELO ratings of each player in order this principle is applied.
== Okay, but I want to know the formula! ==


== Okay, but I want to know the formula ! ==
The formula is exactly the one used by the Elo rating system, with the following adjustments:


At first, when someone left a game for any reason this game is not taken into account by the ELO rating system.
* First of all, if someone leaves a game for any reason this game is not taken into account by the Elo rating system.
* K=60 for the first 30 games, K=40 afterwards.
* K is multiplied by (N/2) for N-player games. If N exceeds the "advised number of players" for this game, K is multiplied by (A/2), where A is the "advised number of players".


* Table Level (TL) is the average of ELO ratings of all players at this table.
== Beginners, Average players, Good players, Experts, Masters ==
* The success (S) of a player depends directly on its ranking at the game, from S=+470 (winner of the game) to S=-470 (last player).
* The performance (P) of a player is TL+S.
* The new ELO rating (Rn) is a weighted average of the previous ELO rating (Rp) and the performance: Rn = K.P + (1-K).Rp


== Good players, Experts, Masters ==
* Beginner: Everyone starts as a Beginner. You stay a Beginner until you achieve a victory, regardless of your Elo.


* Good players: > 1600 ELO
If you have at least 1 victory, the following levels apply, depending on your Elo:
* Experts: > 1800 ELO
* Average: < 1600
* Masters: > 2000 ELO
* Good:   >= 1600
* Expert: >= 1800
* Master: >= 2000

Your Elo rating for a game is an indicator of your level of skill at that game. It's a 4 digit number followed by the symbol rank.png.

Example: 1648 rank.png.

If you've never played a game on BGA, your initial rating will be 1500. Each time you win a game your rating increases, and it decreases each time you lose a game.

How many points do I gain / lose for each game?

The number of Elo points gained or lost in a game depends on (1) the Elo rating of your opponents, and (2) what place you achieve in the game (i.e. 1st place, 2nd place). For example:

  • If you end the game in a better position than a player with a higher Elo, you gain a lot of points.
  • If you end the game in a better position than a player with a lower Elo, you gain fewer points.
  • If you end the game in a worse position than a player with a lower Elo, you lose a lot of points.
