ELO ranking system for battles?

Post by gimp »

Im sure this has been brought up before but thought what the hell nobody posts in here anymore anyway.

As many of you know ELO is great for ranking individuals in chess, i have only known the system to be in 2 player games. Recently i have been playing a board game online called Catan and they use a modified ELO structure for muliplayer games (up to 6 players). Even though it is a game largely of chance it is quite accurate in ranking players over a large number of games. Here is a link with their explanation and formula for 4 player games https://forum.catanuniverse.com/topic/2 ... es-it-work

I wonder if the same formula could be applied to battles?

Anyway i dont play much elma anymore but it made me think of y'all.
