Subject: Chess Rating Formulae

Hello all, I am managing a chess group in Canada and I need to know how the Elo
or equivalent rating system works in order to generate accurate ratings for
upcoming tournaments. Our club has no money to speak of, but I am an organizer
willing to learn the math if it will generate an accurate ELO of our players .

Can anyone out there help me out with the exact formulas and explain how they
work in detail? I have a math background so I can turn the crank once I get the
hang of it.I have been to the Canadian Chess Federation site but their
explanation of their version is lacking...

Thanks in advance for your help

Sincerest Regards,  -Derek.
