{{AFC submission|t||ts=20180821213115|u=AaronWikia|ns=118|demo=}}{{Incomplete list|date=November 2018}}{{For|the association football ranking system|World Football Elo Ratings}}The World Ice Hockey Elo Ratings is a ranking system for men's national ice hockey teams that is published by the website eloratings.net. It is based on the Elo rating system but includes modifications to take various ice hockey-specific variables into account, like the margin of victory, importance of a match, and home ice advantage. Other implementations of the Elo rating system are possible and there is no single nor any official Elo ranking for ice hockey teams. The IIHF World Ranking, not based on the Elo method, is the official national teams rating system used by the international governing body of ice hockey and is therefore more prevalent. RatingsThe following table shows the teams in the World Ice Hockey Elo Ratings as they were on 6 April 2019, using data from the World Ice Hockey Elo Ratings web site.[1] Each national team's IIHF World Ranking is shown as per the latest release on 24 May 2018.[2]Championship | Division I A | Division I B | Division II A | Division II B | Division III | Division III Qualification | {{col-begin}}{{col-break}}Elo Rank | 1 Year Change | Team | Elo Rating | IIHF Rank |

In 1997, Bob Runyan adapted the Elo rating system to international ice hockey and posted the results on the Internet. He was also the first maintainer of the World Ice Hockey Elo Ratings web site, currently maintained by Kirill Bulygin. Other implementations of the Elo rating system are possible but the Runyan system is the best known. The Elo system was adapted for ice hockey by adding a weighting for the kind of match, an adjustment for the home team advantage, and an adjustment for goal difference in the match result. The factors taken into consideration when calculating a team's new rating are: - The team's old rating
- The considered weight of the tournament
- The goal difference of the match
- The result of the match
- The expected result of the match
The different weights of competitions in descending order are: - Olympic finals
- World and Continental Championship finals and major Intercontinental tournaments
- Olympic, World Championship, and Continental qualifiers and major tournaments
- All other tournaments
- Friendly matches
The ratings consider all official international matches for which results are available. Ratings tend to converge on a team's true strength relative to its competitors after about 30 matches.[6] Ratings for teams with fewer than 30 matches are considered provisional. Basic calculation principlesThe basic principle behind the Elo ratings is only in its simplest form similar to that of a league; unlike the IIHF rankings, who effectively run their table as a normal league table but with weightings to take into account the other factors, the Elo system has its one formula which takes into account the factors mentioned above. There is no first step as in the IIHF system where a team immediately receives points for the result, there is just one calculation in the Elo system. The ratings are based on the following formulae:
or
Where; | | = The new team rating
| | = The old team rating
| | = Weight index regarding the tournament of the match
| | = A number from the index of goal differences
| | = The result of the match
| | = The expected result
| | = Points Change
|
The number of Points Change is rounded to the nearest integer before updating the team rating. Status of matchThe status of the match is incorporated by the use of a weight constant. The constant reflects the importance of a match, which, in turn, is determined entirely by which tournament the match is in; the weight constant for each major tournament is given in the table below: Tournament or Match type | Index (K) |
---|
Olympic finals | 60 | World and Continental Championship finals and major Intercontinental tournaments | 50 | Olympic, World Championship, and Continental qualifiers and major tournaments | 40 | All other tournaments | 30 | Friendly matches | 20 |
Number of goalsThe number of goals is taken into account by use of a goal difference index. If the game is a draw or is won by one goal If the game is won by two goals If the game is won by three or more goals - Where N is the goal difference
Table of examples: Goal Difference | Coefficient of K (G) |
---|
0 | 1 | |1 |1.5 |1.75 |1.875 |2 |2.125 |2.25 |2.375 |2.5 |2.625
Result of matchW is the result of the game (1 for a win, 0.5 for a draw, and 0 for a loss). This also holds when a game is won or lost on extra time. If the match is decided on penalties, however, the result of the game is considered a draw (W = 0.5). Expected result of matchWe is the expected result (win expectancy with a draw counting as 0.5) from the following formula: where dr equals the difference in ratings (add 100 points for the home team). So dr of 0 gives 0.5, of 120 gives 0.666 to the higher-ranked team and 0.334 to the lower, and of 800 gives 0.99 to the higher-ranked team and 0.01 to the lower. Examples for clarificationThe same examples have been used on the IIHF World Ranking for a fair comparison. Some actual examples should help to make the methods of calculation clear. In this instance it is assumed that three teams of different strengths are involved in a small friendly tournament on neutral territory. Before the tournament, the three teams have the following point totals. Thus, team A is by some distance the highest ranked of the three: The following table shows the points allocations based on three possible outcomes of the match between the strongest team A, and the somewhat weaker team B: Example 1Team A versus Team B (Team A stronger than Team B)Team A | Team B | Team A | Team B | Team A | Team B | Score | 3–1 | 1–3 | 2–2 |
---|
| 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 |
---|
| 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1 | 1 |
---|
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0.5 | 0.5 |
---|
| 0.679 | 0.321 | 0.679 | 0.321 | 0.679 | 0.321 |
---|
Total (P) | +9.63 | –9.63 | –20.37 | +20.37 | –3.58 | +3.58 |
---|
Example 2Team B versus Team C (both teams approximately the same strength)When the difference in strength between the two teams is less, so also will be the difference in points allocation. The following table illustrates how the points would be divided following the same results as above, but with two roughly equally ranked teams, B and C, being involved: Team B | Team C | Team B | Team C | Team B | Team C | Score | 3–1 | 1–3 | 2–2 |
---|
| 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 |
---|
| 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1 | 1 |
---|
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0.5 | 0.5 |
---|
| 0.529 | 0.471 | 0.529 | 0.471 | 0.529 | 0.471 |
---|
Total (P) | +14.13 | –14.13 | –15.87 | +15.87 | –0.58 | +0.58 |
---|
Note that Team B drops more ranking points by losing to Team C, which is approximately the same strength, than by losing to Team A, which is considerably better than Team B.
