Hattrick National Team Elo Ratings

The Hattrick National Team Elo Ratings are back. And the ratings have changed a bit. I've decided to change the weight of Qualification matches (from 30 to 40) and Round II World Cup matches (from 40 to 50). This should reduce the impact the friendlies have on the ratings, a suggestion I've often heard.

The Hattrick Elo Ratings are based on the Elo rating system, developed by Dr. Arpad Elo and adapted to international football by Bob Runyan. The system takes into account the type of match, home advantage and goal difference.

These ratings take into account all national team matches for which results could be found in the Hattrick match archives. Ratings tend to converge on a team's true strength relative to its competitors after about 30 matches. Ratings for teams with fewer than 30 matches should be considered provisional and are not included in any historical statistics.

The ratings are updated each friday. Last update of the season is performed exceptionally on monday after the World Cup Final.
