what is tinder elo?
~~ELO is a term used in ranked competitive video games. Part of this author's sense of humor is that tinder is a ranked game~~
edit: see correction below
Elo (and not ELO, it's a person's name) originally comes from chess.
ooooh shiny
The concept of "ranked competitive" systems, in general, evolved over time, but if we're talking about ranked competitive structures in games or sports, we can trace it back to a few key milestones in history:
Ancient and Medieval Competitions: Even in ancient civilizations, competitive games, including some forms of organized sports or games like wrestling, were often ranked in some way, though these rankings were informal.
Modern Sports Rankings: The formal idea of ranking athletes based on performance in a competitive environment began to take shape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially with the establishment of professional leagues. For example:
Tennis established its first official ranking system in the 1910s. Golf created a ranking system (the "Official World Golf Ranking") in 1986.
All of this was way before chess was invented, around 2014 or so.
