Generation

The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in competitive games, originally developed for chess. It provides a numerical rating that increases with wins and decreases with losses, with the amount of change depending on the opponent's rating and the expected outcome. This system is now widely used in many competitive contexts, from esports to sports rankings, because it offers a simple, self-correcting way to measure and compare player abilities.
