1 @hokomoko: If it's so biased, then your algorithm/system shouldn't have a problem with predicting the winner better than the current one. 1 @hokomoko : If it's so biased, then your algorithm/system shouldn't have a problem with predicting the winner better than the current one.

3 Given those games, you're also supposed to "start over" with your own elo system. It might be a bit off at the start, but the battles were predicted by the current system while player skill was also varying, so that's not an excuse. 3 Given those games, you're also supposed to "start over" with your own elo system.

13 the linear Elo average is equal but since Elo is exponential we should use the linearized value instead which gives us unequal 2+2 vs 1+4.[/quote] 13 the linear Elo average is equal but since Elo is exponential we should use the linearized value instead which gives us unequal 2+2 vs 1+4.[/quote]
14 I don't think this makes sense. You are essentially adding fractions by adding the nominators and denominators separately. It may make sense here on some level, but transforming the elo value into another measure yields no reason for why team elo should be linear in [i]that[/i] measure instead of the other one. 14 I don't think this makes sense.
