Hello world,
     I would like to have some information to make a backgammon
rating system to use in tournaments. I need a formula that will 
take care of the results of the matchs in a similar way than 
the chess games are rated. But I don't think Elo's formula will 
do the trick... I think it has to be softened in some way. 
What are the rating systems currently used? Any idea?
 
Thank you for any help!
