CEO ELO Ranking Tournament

General Info

• This Tournament will consist of 3 Rounds:

1. Create your own army to battle with
2. Create your own army to battle with, but with restrictions
3. Battle with a premade army

• Each round an individual will play 5 matches against a variety of opponents
• All Rounds happen simultaneously and you will be told how many matches you have to play and against who
• Ranking for that round will be determined by total score
• To properly rank everyone I will randomly assign half the players a rank of 1200 if they have no ranking
• After a battle the winner should send the replay code to me or post it on the forums, to balance out the unfair advantage this gives me I will send a screenshot of the army I plan to use to everyone once the game begins
• You do not have to participate in all rounds but until you have 15 tourney matches under your belt (which are approved by me of course) you will not receive your CEO ELO Ranking meaning you can not claim any rank related prizes

Determining ELO Ranking:

For Unranked Players:

• Tourney Rating = Average Opponent’s rating - Average Opponent’s dp * number of opponents / (number of opponents + 1)
• If your p = .5; Your ELO Rating is your Tourney Rating
• If your p > .5; Your ELO Rating = Tourney Rating + 20x (Where x is every .05 above .5)
• If your p < .5; Your ELO Rating = Tourney Rating + dp * number of opponents / (number of opponents + 1)
• p is an average of your score for all your games, a win is a 1 for score, a draw .5, and a loss 0

For Ranked Players:

• Rating Change = K * R
• R = your score for the game - PD
• D = Difference in ratings (At most should only be 400)
• If your ELO Rating has ever been more than 2399 then K = 10; Otherwise K = 20

CEO ELO Achievements:

• Anything below 1200 is Beginner
• 1200-1599 is Novice
• 1600-1999 is Advanced
• 2000-2299 is Expert
• 2300-2499 is Master
• 2500 and above is Grandmaster

Bonus: If you win all of your battles I will boost you an additional 50 ranking
