Q: How does the recount work?
A: Every match is recorded in the database together with its set time. But we often change results from the past (for example one of us closed the bet with wrong winner etc) so we have our recount script. It is a good tool, as it counts again every single game, since the first GosuBet ever added till the latest matches. It counts points for every match again.
Example? I want to change something and add two games from the past between two players. It will be one win for first player one and one win for second player. So I set winners and run recount script. Player who won the first game, wins some points but also loses more for the loss than he would have lost without winning the previous game. Both numbers are calculated accordingly to the current ranking - so his recent win also counts to this and he should lose more points for losing to a guy with lower ranking.
Q: How are the ranking points counted?
A: The formula is based on a regular ELO ranking system, with an event modifier, where the amount of points won or lost is multiplied with the event value, meaning if you win 30 and the event has 1.5, you win 45.
As in any ELO system, you win more if you win against a higher ranked opponent; in fact, the higher your opponent's rank is, the more points you win, and vice versa. For a more detailed description of the ELO ranking system, check ELO at wikipedia.
