Go up one level in this thread

The problem is that ELO calculations simply do not work that way.  You cannot
combine different opponents into a single foe and produce a composite ranking.

I think also that the assumption of sporadic single measurements of different
events will be the same as repeated measurements of the same experiment is
seriously flawed.  I believe that time will prove I am correct in this
assessment.

I might be wrong.  But as I see it, your experiment has no controls whatsoever.
How can you possibly reach any kind of conclusion?
