To be determined based on ELO rankings!

Current ELO Rankings

MultiELO is our season-long rating system that evaluates team strength across competitions. It accounts for opponent strength and performance while ensuring fairness by:


  • Adjusting for judge scoring differences (via Z-Scores)

  • Removing competition order effects (via averaged ELO runs)


ELO is separate from competition results and is used only for season-wide evaluation.
