The ELO rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games such as chess, or in our case, Lorcana tournaments. It was originally developed by Arpad Elo for chess competitions.
Each player starts with a base rating (1000), and this rating changes after each match based on the outcome and the relative skill difference between players.
Where Ra is your rating and Rb is opponent's rating
Determines how much ratings change per game:
You (1000) vs Opponent (1200)
Expected: You have ~24% chance to win
If you win: +24 rating points!
You (1200) vs Opponent (1000)
Expected: You have ~76% chance to win
If you lose: -24 rating points
