Actually, the maximum number can be anything you want it to be, as long as the entire pool gets the same absolute difference subtracted. In the ELO system, the difference between players is all that matters. >Dan, you seem to be quite a mathematician. Though I am a bit interested in deep >mathematical observations.

My degree is in numerical analysis, but I'm not a great mathematician. The lottery is for knuckleheads. The value of a ticket is far less than what you pay for it. How do you think they [the lottery runners] make boatloads of money? It is due to the fact that they are selling a product worth one quarter for one dollar. The more tickets you buy, the dumber you are. I think that the mapping is a one-to-one and onto monotonic increasing function. ;-)
