VEX VRC Competition World Rankings
This website contains world rankings for teams participating int 2022-2023 VEX VRC Robotics Spin-Up competition.
A live demo is available at vexvrcworldrankings.azurewebsites.net.
Teams are ranked based on their performance in tournaments throughout the year using a hybrid variation of ELO rating algorithm.
The math behind the ELO rating system is explained in detail here.
Code implementations of the ELO rating system in various languages can be found here.
While ELO is traditionally used for team verse team or player verse player competition, the implementation here uses the combined ELO of each team on a VEX alliance to form a single ELO for each alliance .
The combined ELO is they used to predict each alliances proability of winning the match.
Then an elo rating change is calculuated for the combined ELO of each alliance based on their performance.
Finally, the ELO for each team on the alliance is updated based on their percentage of the the combined ELO.
The data for teams and matches is pulled directly from the REC Foundations Public Robot Events API .
This application was developed by members of Cherry Hill East High School robotics team in NJ (Vinayak Chidrawar & Alexander Higgins), is open source and available on AJ Higgins Github.

Event Details - Teams
On the top of the event details page is a searchable list of teams for the event, their ranking in the event, world ranking, elo and more.
Event Details - Matches
Following the teams is a searchable list of matches listing the color-coded alliance for each match, combined team and invidiual elo for the alliance, the probability each team would win, and the result.
The corresponding blue win probality column or red win probality column is highlighted with it's respective color if that alliance was expected to win based on the alliance's combinded elo.
The result column is bordered with the color of the alliance that was expected to win and highlighted with the team that actually won. This makes upset victories stick out, that is when a lower rated team defeated a higher rated team.
When matches are first scheduled the result of the match will be a tie until the match is completed, but the win probablities of the match will still be visible.
Match Caculator
The match caclulator allows you to enter two team codes for the blue alliance and two team codes for the red alliance and calculates the probality of each team winning in a match.
After entering the teams for each alliance, the teams will be displayed along with their rankings and records in the Teams table and the match with probablity will be displayed in the matches table.
