SYSTEM
The ACA rating system is an adaptation of the ELO scale. It is based on the concept that ratings should reflect playing strength rather than serve as reward. High Wins means: number of points the higher rated player gains and the lower rated player loses if the higher rated player wins the game. Low Wins means: number of points higher rated player loses and the lower rated player gains if the lower rated player wins the game. Draw means: the number of points lower rated player gains and the higher rated player loses if game ends in a draw..
