    Ping Pong Rankings

    Yes - Ping Pong Rankings - my new office space has a ping pong table and we are beginning to track the results to have a current ranking available. I am running the ranking based on score differential, but want to add in a modifier or weighting scale for increasing the reward for defeating a tougher (higher ranked) opponent and conversely decreasing the reward for defeating a lesser (lower ranked) opponent.

    Really don't want to share what I have built so far because I don't want to persuade the design.

    Let me know if you have a good starting point. Thanks!

    Re: Ping Pong Rankings

    Since I'm not sure how much of this question is Excel related, and how much is more generic, I would probably suggest you start with one of the best known rating systems: the Elo rating system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system
    It is perhaps best known in chess circles, but it can be used and/or adapted to other competitions.
