How Elo works

What is Elo?

Elo is a number representing your skill. Every player starts at the same baseline. Win matches and you climb; lose and you drop. Because beating tougher opponents is worth more, players who don't grind as much can still climb fast if they're more skilled.

1000 — rating

How your points move

Real swings for an established player rated 1500 — the bigger the rating gap, the bigger the move.

Beat a higher-rated player
Big gain. You pulled off an upset, and the system rewards the risk.
+18
Beat a similarly-rated player
Moderate gain. Even match, fair reward.
+10
Beat a lower-rated player
Small gain. You were expected to win, so the easy matchup pays little.
+2
Lose to a lower-rated player
Big drop. Upsets cost you exactly what they'd have earned you.
-18

Why is it built this way?

This system exists to close the skill gap and keep competition real. Without it, players could farm weak opponents all day to inflate their rank.

Elo forces you to actually challenge yourself. The more you face stronger players, the faster you climb — so someone who can't play every day still has a real shot, as long as they can hang with tougher opponents.

New accounts move faster

For your first 30 matches your rating is provisional and swings about twice as hard, so you reach your real level quickly. After that it settles down, and above 2400 it moves at half speed again — which is what makes the very top so hard to reach.
