For example: assume that player X played 6 matches distributed like this: 3 matches against player A (let A have 4 ranking points) 2 matches against player B (let B have 2 points) and 1 match against player C (let C have 1 point). In that case Average Opponent Strength of player X = [ (3*4) + (2*2) + (1*1) ] / 6 = 15/6 = 2.50 The more matches a player plays against quality opponents, the better his/hers Average Opponent Strength. This metrics is used as a tiebreaker between two players with the same number of points. We are working on more ranking systems and those will be available soon (leapfrog etc).
