Elo Ranking System + Matchmaking

[Mindless]

I'm starting to get the feeling that pULSE doesn't understand that Elo rankings use a points system.

Also, you can use a points system to limit people reaching number 1 battling noobs by limiting the number of points someone receives beating someone to a scale based on the battling users levels. It's really simple actually.

EDIT- Pseudocode again but modified.

var maxEstimatedSkill = 10;
var ELOPoints = NumberOfRegisteredUsers;
var MaxEloChange = 32;
//W-L expressed as decimal
var winLoss = 0;
//I'm not sure how exactly to express a mathematical formula
//for determining exactly how to remove the number of points taken
var pointSubtraction;

var User1 = {
//All numbers in here are random. I didn't feel like writing some actual code in
//a spreadsheet to distribute the ELO points amongst the current user count
//(139,421) randomly and then sorting it. This should do well enough to express what
//I'm getting at.
    currentRank: 35,
    EstimatedSkill: 7,
    CurrentEloPoints: 15000,
    winLoss = 75.3
}

var User2 = {
    currentRank: 1000,
    EstimatedSkill: 7,
    CurrentEloPoints: 1200,
    winLoss = 25.2
}

function Battle() {
    
    Predict = {
    User1PredictionScore = user1.CurrentEloPoints + (user1.currentRank + user1.EstimatedSkill + user1.winLoss);
    User2PredictionScore = user2.CurrentEloPoints + (user2.currentRank + user2.EstimatedSkill + user2.winLoss);
      if (User1PredictionScore > User2PredictionScore) prediction = User1 wins;
      if (User2PredictionScore > User1PredictionScore) prediction = User2 wins;
      if (User1PredictionScore == User2PredictionScore) prediction = CoinFlip; //do nothing
    }
    
    DetermineWinner = {
    if (user1VoteTally > greater than user2VoteTally) {
    user1 wins} else { 
    user2 wins
     }
    }
    
    Winner = Result
    
    DetermineRankChange = {
    if Winner was predicted {
    pointModifier = WinnerPredictionScore - LoserPredictionScore;
    pointSubtraction = map(pointModifier, 0, 139421, 0, 32)
    ELOAdded = MaxEloChange - (pointSubtraction)
        
}
    if Winner was not predicted {
    ELOAdded = UnderDogWin
    UnderDogWin() {
    pointModifier = WinnerPredictionScore - LoserPredictionScore;
    pointSubtraction = map(pointModifier, 0, 139421, 0, 32)
    ELOAdded = MaxEloChange - (pointSubtraction)
    
    }    
    }
  }
}
