Because ELO needs a statistical/random basis to correctly represent "skill level"
This was one reason I campaigned against the addition of ELO to the club stats :chin:

LOL! I've had 110 opponents all of variable skill levels. Most were not random but, I rarely refuse to play anyone when, and if, I have the time. :smoke:

we all play for fun and not "good" statistics
I have met quite a few who play for stats. Most of them were not as fun to play ... and ... I do play to have fun. :whis:
The one year ladder was set up to reflect a year of play similar to a championship versus the overall stats of players calculated from when they reported their first game?
BTW, I was against that too! ;)
