What is ELO?

ELO is a competitive ranking system from chess. Omoggle uses it to rank players based on cumulative wins and losses against opponents of varying strength.

How It Works

Win = gain ELO. Lose = lose ELO. Beating a higher-rated opponent earns more points. This rewards consistent performance against strong opponents.

Starting ELO

New players start in Molecule tier at 0 ELO and work up. Most players stabilize in MTN range (1,501–2,000) after 20–30 matches.
