The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games.
We are the first to create all encompassing ELO ratings for every player on the WST
Our database starts with the 1998/99 season
Any questions please DM

@Kal01761097@joegentlemanjoe Oh yeah, I’m watching. I meant it’s a shame someone in the UK hasn’t bought the rights to the feed for broadcast over here
@GWSnookerTips The inconsistencies in punishments has always been a particular bug bear of mine.
I still think Stephen Lee was treated tremendously harshly (although I get he was used to lay down a marker).
Apologies to everybody interested in this project for the silence, things had to be unexpectedly shelved late in July due to an unexpected health issue with one of our founders. Things are beginning to get rolling again and our revised anticipated completion date is Christmas 21
It’s 2014 in the database and Ronnie O’Sullivan has CRUSHED his own highest ever rating
He’s the first and very possibly could be the only player ever to clear an ELO rating of 1500

@PFF_Martyn @snookerorg Oh yeah the percentage will remain the same as the one that’s runs against the ratings alone, I meant for a more detailed look at the game with correct scores etc
@snookerorg Highest rating achieved so far is 1443.94
2005
World Championship 🌍
Quarter Final
Peter Ebdon (1157.20) - 13
Ronnie O’Sullivan (1443.94) 11
Ronnie’s implied win % in a match like this would be 83.9%
In defeat Ronnie fell to a rating of 1417.09, Ebdon climbed to 1184.05
The end of the 2004/2005 season in the ELO database
Ronnie O’Sullivan is MILES clear in an otherwise very close top 16
It’s fairly different from the actual 16 at the time 👀
