EquiRatings Eventing PodcastEquiRatings Special: The Elo RatingIn a new EquiRatings Special Diarm & Sam explain the newly launched Elo Rating. We have adapted a ranking methodology used in many sports called the Elo rating system (named after Hungarian physics professor, Arpad Elo). Basically, everyone starts (or enters the system - in the case of new horses) with the 1500 points. Then, every time someone finishes ahead of you they take points from you and every time you finish ahead of someone you take points from them. You don’t lose all your points in one go, but the changes occur gradually as you compete more.
