Wrecking ELO Havoc

In this page I will write up notes dedicated to the problems that I have been looking at in the world of ranking algorithms and more specifically the ELO algorithm.

Despite having been around for a very long time, it is not entirely clear exactly how the dynamics of the ELO algorithm work in the theoretical sense, and this page will be dedicated some some interesting problems that come from it.
