Modded or unmodded games would make no difference.

Welcome to the Ratings system, georgig!

(So, now I must ask, you want our KOTH game to be a "rated" game?)

I'm still working out the details of the rules and Lord Chane is working on a program to do all the computations.
I think you and Lord Chane should check http://www.swissperfect.com
There is a program that calculates ELO Ratings.

You can sign me up. I think it adds an interesting dimension to know the caliber of an opponent or potential opponent above and beyond what you may have heard about them.

Thanks for the info, BBegemott (though the link doesn't seem to work for me for some reason).

Lord Chane did the program in about 4 hours. While the site you posted may help with computations, I had plans to post 2 sets of statistics to my site: 1 for all the Ratings (sorted by rating, then by games played) and another list of the games people have played (with the date and win or lose). Those reports will come out of Access and sent to Word and then published on the site. So, I'm not sure the site you posted would have helped with that.

The formula, now posted at the SE4 Ratings site is essentially the same as used in the USCF with modifications that disregard the 20-game provisionary rating formula.
