Elo Calculation

Elo calculation starts with a player to player comparison. Initially, we calculate the probability of a player winning against their opponent.

Expected Result = 1 / (1 + 10 ^ ((Opponent Elo - Player Elo) / 400))

Once we have the expected result of a player against their opponent, we calculate their new elo with the actual result. Result is either a 1 or 0 based on the player winning or losing respectively.

New Elo = Current Elo + KFactor * (Result - Expected Result)

In a duel, each player either gains or loses elo based on winning or losing. In a free-for-all, elo is calculated by player placement; players lose elo to those who placed higher and gain elo from those who placed lower. In a team match, each player's elo is calculated based on the average elo of the opposing team(s).

You can learn more about the elo rating system via the Wiki.
