            [spoiler]The whole calculation here is much more general than the elo system. It could even be applied consistently on a probability matrix calculated by an artificial neural network balancing system that yields non-transitive team to team effectivities (team 0 will probably win vs team 1, 1 will probably win vs 2, 2 will probably win vs 0).[/spoiler]

            I hope this solution will be implemented. The current implementation seems to be incorrect. It may fulfill some of the conditions, but current FFA teams' expectation value of elo change is probably far from zero and it would be nice to see reasonable !predicitons. Every team would have to be treated individually in the code. Maybe I can help with that.

            Even though it may sound impossible, I will probably soon release a further generalization of the elo system that allows for giving every team in any team FFA (including normal teams and 1v1) a real winning probability of 1/N no matter how unbalanced the teams seem to be.
