Am just trialling this and intend to make a points system ranking ladder in the future. Currently the points have no impact on your ranking or anything else.

It's the traditional Elo system with d = 400, k = 32. Players start with 0 points. As a shortcut to getting the rankings established I have used the following rules: If both players have 0 points, then they start with 1500 points. If only one of the players has 0 points then they receive the same number of points as their opponent.

For those that don't know, the system looks at your probability of beating your opponenent based on your points score and awards an appropriate number of points to the winner whilst taking off points for losing. It is simple win vs loss and takes no account of the game scores.

In the future I will create different points systems e.g. US squash rating system, trueskill etc. Let me know if you have any requests...
