Greetings! After we launched the
8-Bit Armies Match History earlier, with great pride we are happy to announce our very first automated ladder:
Each 1v1 game that is played will count towards your rank on the ladder. Obviously we tried to take a fair approach here; you win more points against a high ranked player and you will lose less points against a high ranked player. For this we are using a modified ELO System. Important to know is that you can
never ever lose more then 10% of your total points.

Point system explained
RN = RO + K(W - F* WE) # RN is the new rating
# RO is the old (pre-event) rating
# K is the maximum number of points you can win or lose based upon the ranks of the players involved. This is currently set to 64 points.
# W is the score in the event (1 = win, 0 = loss)
# F is the Factor. This is currently set to 0,92
# WE is the expected score derived from the following formula :
WE = 1 / (10 ^ (DR / 400) + 1)You can never lose more then 10% of your point total. 2 examples to show how this works:
Example 1: If someone has 70 points and plays against a player that has 70 points as well, according to ELO he should lose roughly 30 points. However, in this case he will lose 7 points (max 10% lost)
Example 2: If someone has 800 points and plays against another member with 800 points, according to ELO he will lose roughly 30 points and not 10% as 30 points is less then 80 points.
