Durham 4.0 Pickleball Ladder ELO Ratings
BEHIND THE NUMBERS
Results with context.
These are not official league rankings. They offer an alternate way to view the results of league games using Elo ratings.
Elo considers who you played with, who you faced, and the margin of the result.
How ratings work
Everyone begins at 1500. Team strength is the average of the partners’ pregame Elo. Expected wins use the standard 400-point Elo scale.
For each game, K = 32 × (1 + winning margin / 15), capped at 64. Updates follow week order, then listed group and G1–G3 order on the league scoresheets.
How substitutes are handled
Every substitute appearance uses a fixed 1500 rating, even if the substitute is a known player. Those games do not affect the substitute’s own Elo or W–L. Regular participants receive their normal updates.
About the data
Results come from the league’s first four weekly scoresheets. Individual game scores take precedence over recap totals. Earlier-week views use the same current rules. Players appear after their first regular game.
