It may happen that sometimes team gets more points for a draw with a leading team, than for a win over team from the bottom of a chart. In practical terms, if Norwich wins over Chelsea 4:0, they get more points than if they win 1:0, but still more points than if they win 2:0 over Luton. Certainly, the situation is different when someone wins 1:0 or 4:0. The formula is also determined by coefficient - in this case the difference in score is used. The amount of points is determined by a formula, where the entry are ELO points of team A, B, and outcome.
Simply put, if Team A wins over Team B, which is a performance leader, team A gets more ELO points, as it would get for the win over the worst team. It is a measure of performance based on the amount and quality of the meetings played. How does the computational algorithm work ?Ībbreviation ELO is primarily known to chessplayer. Our algorithm is enhanced with other factors such as the condition of a team, mutual matches, scores – divided into home – away - together.
This system is more objective than traditional points and score. The algorithm of calculations is based on the ELO system of performance evaluation of each team, just as in evaluating the performance of chess players.
