ELO

In Oly Sport, every horse has a starting ELO of 1000.

Back in Testnet Phase 1, the Top 6 horses gained ELO and the other 6 (bottom 6 horses) lost ELO. But we decided to balance it out by changing the ELO calculation as below:

• If there are 6 horses in the race: 3 horses gain ELO and 3 horses lose ELO.

• If there are 7 horses in the race: 3 horses gain ELO, 1 horse doesn’t change, and 3 horses lose ELO.

• If there are 8 horses in the race: 4 horses gain ELO and 4 horses lose ELO.

• If there are 9 or more horses in the race: 4 horses gain ELO, 4 horses lose ELO, and the rest do not change.
