How exactly do the Elo points work for ladders? I have a guy who is 1-0 with 1036 points and a guy who is 4-0 with 1016 points. I honestly have no idea what's going on with it. If it's relevant, I changed my K-Value from 50 to 100 before any games were played.
Also I'm using this for Madden 11 so does the score affect it? Because we get games like 56-21 or even more of a blow out.
Oh and finally, would you be willing to help come up with a new algorithm for determining Elo rating? I'd be willing to make a donation.
I can't seem to install it properly. Can anyone help? It keeps giving me this when I go to import the file:

See the READ ME file in the download files. You have to first upload with FTP to your root directory (see where and what files in the read me section) to your server. Then you try to import the product file.
For some reason I can't access the Mod and I am the Admin... I was going to make a donation since I erased the copyright info, and you said it could be done if I made a donation. What I want to know is, if that is the reason why I couldn't access the Mod... Please let me know, I have a tournament on monday with GameStop and I need the Mod for it. This is what it says:
"You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."
Tried messing with the usergroup settings under Admin?
