Would it be possible to make some widgets/blocks for the frontpage of the cms?

Some ex:

1. Top 10 rank (ladder)
2. Hall of fame
3. Matchfinde (for easy access)
3. Latest ladder/tournaments

Still best VB mod ever :-)

Elo Rating will be changing for v4.2.8

It's now much simpler, just using the formula:

Rating Change = K-factor * ( Result – Expected Result )

Result being substitute by 1 for win, 0.5 for draw or 0 for loss.

Expected Result Table - based on current ranks of players/teams
Rating Difference | Stronger Player | Weaker Player
0 0.50 0.50
25 0.53 0.47
50 0.57 0.43
100 0.64 0.36
150 0.70 0.30
200 0.76 0.24
250 0.81 0.19
300 0.85 0.15
350 0.89 0.11
400+ 0.92 0.08

The Elo Rating Calculator will also be updated to use the new formula so that users can see how their score will be affected by different results.

Nice :-)

This is very close to what they use on gamebattles and like the old formula posted earlier i guess...

Great product.

Do the competitors necessarily have to be users of the forum? Or could they be merely strings of text and the mod be used for visual purposes only?

Thanks.

3. Tournament moderators progress users onto next round using the arrows. See attached screenshot

My ladder doesnt have these arrows, i had a freelancer install. Can you tell me what i need him to do?
