Squad rank
Squad ranks have been calculated using the ELO system on a temporary basis until a better TrueSkill based system can be implemented.
Current Ranks
Ranking of September 8th, 2011:

Note: Elo rankings are not considered accurate for squads with less than 20 games played.
Problems with ELO ranking
ELO rankings are only as good as the data used to create them. Unlike AllegSkill there is no uncertainty factor so a squad with few games played will have an ELO artificially close to the 1500 starting value that other squads have diverged from.
Squads could potentially maintain an artificially high ranking by not playing squad games.
Forfeits, no-shows and games with less than 10 on either side are not counted.
Important! These ranks are not official. For the reasons outlined above, the ELO squad rankings are not considered official and were created for the benefit of the Events Zone and are provided here for interest.
