Frequently Asked Questions
What is Elo?
Elo is a relative skill rating system for 1v1 games. It was originally designed for chess but has been adapted for many competitive games. Ratings here shouldn't be taken too seriously on their own—they're meant to be a fun way to track relative performance over time.
What data is used to calculate Elo ratings?
Elo ratings are calculated from SCAR events since January 1, 2024. Only fights from official SCAR events are included in the calculations.
How can I improve my robot's rating?
Don't like your rating? Fight more! The more fights you participate in, the more accurate your rating becomes. Winning fights against higher-rated opponents will increase your rating more than winning against lower-rated opponents.
What do the tiers mean?
Tiers (S, A, B, C, D, F) are based on current Elo rating thresholds. Each weight class has its own tier thresholds that are calculated based on the distribution of ratings in that class. Higher tiers indicate higher current ratings relative to other robots in the same weight class.
How often are ratings updated?
Ratings are updated after each SCAR event. The "Last Updated" timestamp in the footer shows when the data was last refreshed.
