There's a scriptcommand for that.

PHP Code:

updateratings(obj) - returns object - updates an array of {rating1,ratingdeviation1, rating2,ratingdeviation2, ...}, init them at 1500 and 350 


Example of how to use:

PHP Code:

temp.rating = updateratings({attacker.rating,attacker.ratingdeviation,player.rating,player.ratingdeviation}); 


The real algorithm behind the rating calculation is obviously secret To get rating deviation use this:

PHP Code:

updateratingdeviation(float, float) - returns float - old deviation, time of last spar, returns new deviation
