The Elo rating system is named after its creator, Arpad Elo, so the name doesn't really "mean" anything.

This tag is only for the use of MMR, Elo, or other systems in order to match players of relatively similar skill against each other. Not for non-matched player skill rating systems that are only for show.

Variants:
* TrueSkill — created by Microsoft for Xbox Live and Windows Live.
