Arena ELO

• The Arena now has an ELO Rating system that tracks each player's strength in the Arena System
• Each player has an individual ELO Rating for each Event Type (Solo Match, Team Match, Solo Tournament, and Team Tournament) with values tracked seperately for Season and Lifetime durations of those events
• All players start with an ELO Rating of 800 in each Event Type, and Seasonal ratings will reset to 800 at the start of each new Season
• Ratings for events will go up or down based on their wins/losses in those events with change amounts adjusted based on their ELO Rating compared to their opponent's (or the average of their opponent's ELO Ratings when in a Team-based match)
• ELO Ratings for Tournaments are determined based on the results of individual matches within the Tournament (and not whether they win/lose the entire Tournament)

• The Arena also tracks an ELO Rating for each Guild, which is adjusted after every match that occurs between players of opposing guilds
• If a guild has players on both teams in an Team Match or Team Tournament Match, the guild's ELO Rating will be unaffected by the result of the match

• ELO Rating is scaled so individual Solo Matches and Team Matches will change a player's ELO Rating for that event by a very small amount per match, whereas individual Solo Tournament and Team Tournament matches will adjust a player's ELO Rating for those events types by a much, much larger amount per match (due to them being more infrequently occuring)
• Individual Player and Guild Lifetime ELO Ratings for events will slowly drift back towards 800 (can occur up or down, and drift occurs daily)
• Seasonal ELO Ratings will never drift and instead will simply reset to 800 at the start of each Season
• When players create a new Match Listing for an Arena Match, they can chose whether ELO Tracking for the match is either Enabled or Disabled, which will determine whether the result of the match will affect the player's ELO scores for that Match Type (Solo / Team)
• ELO Tracking is always Enabled for all Tournaments
