About the AQB ratings system
The AQB (Active, Quality-Based) Rating System uses historical data to assign relative performance ratings to each team in the chosen sport. The base for the rating system is the first game in that sport, and ratings begin from that date. Ratings are recalculated after every game, and the new ratings are used for that teams next game. The ratings system uses the following formulae to calculate the new rating for both teams after each game:
For games that are non-drawn:
Rn = Ro + R * (B + H + D * K)
Where:
Rn is the teams new rating
Ro is the teams old rating
R is the result variable:
R = +1 if the team won
R = -1 if the team lost
B is the base ratings change for any result:
Currently B = 20
H is the home advantage variable:
H = -4 if the home team wins
H = 4 if the away team wins
H = 0 for a game played on neutral ground
D is the difference in ratings of the two teams, as follows:
D = Ro of losing team - Ro of winning team
K is the weighting applied to the ratings difference:
Currently K = 0.0625
For games that are drawn:
Rn = Ro + Rd * (B + H + Dd * K)
Where:
Rd is the result variable:
Rd = 0.25 if the team was the lower rated before the game
Rd = -0.25 if the team was the higher rated before the game
Rd = 0 if both teams had the same rating before the game
Dd is the difference in ratings of the two teams, as follows:
Dd = Ro of higher rated team - Ro of lower rated team
The following general rules also apply:
A winning teams rating will never decrease. A losing teams rating will never increase.
In the case of a drawn result, the lower rated team will never have the higher rating as a result of the game (once home advantage is taken into account). If this would happen, both teams final rating (Rn) is equal to the average of the two ratings before the game.
The base rating for all teams is generally 1000. Exceptions are listed in the database notes for each rating.
Any specific alterations to the above rating system are listed in the database notes for each rating.
