What does ELO stand for? - PawelM - 09-11-2011 This is a no brainer for any long term member of th Blitz. What does ELO in the ladders (i.e. first column from the right) stand for? Thanks Pawel RE: What does ELO stand for? - Mr Grumpy - 09-11-2011 (09-11-2011, 07:11 PM)PawelM Wrote: This is a no brainer for any long term member of th Blitz. What does ELO in the ladders (i.e. first column from the right) stand for?The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in two-player games such as chess. It is named after its creator Arpad Elo, a Hungarian-born American physics professor. In club terms the higher your ELO the better your performance has been against opponents with equally good records. ;) RE: What does ELO stand for? - Dan Caviness - 09-17-2011 Electric Light Orchestra?...(:O) RE: What does ELO stand for? - PawelM - 09-17-2011 (09-17-2011, 11:07 PM)Dan Caviness Wrote: Electric Light Orchestra?...(:O) Does it mean that if I collect enough ELO points I will get discounted ticket for their show? ;) RE: What does ELO stand for? - Herr Straße Laufer - 09-18-2011 The discount and one of those little squiggly type bulbs.

RE: What does ELO stand for? - Herr Straße Laufer - 09-21-2011 That's why Von Luck is known as an old crank? ;) I put my teeth back in to smile.   HSL RE: What does ELO stand for? - Dan Caviness - 09-21-2011 Von Luck...I guess I'd lean towards "old salt" with "crank-like tendencies"? I used to be one of the old farts, and still am of course at the double nickel, but having met this bunch I realize with the right preservative you can extend your shelf life and game into your 90's... (Did I type that out loud?) RE: What does ELO stand for? - Herr Straße Laufer - 09-22-2011 Dag nabbit! :curse: You ... you ... you young punk! :boom1: Dang near had me spit my teeth out!
