Hi Jose, you must pick up engines for a engine tournament. You pick up Ruffian 2.0 on first position the ranking is 1! You pick up Ruffian 1.05 on second position the ranking is 2! You pick up Ruffian 1.01 on third position the ranking is 3! Why you will set an ELO. Arena have ELOstat support (more or less a PlugIn). You can give your ELO in newer Beta versions for get your own Gladiator logo (nice new possibility) :-) Have fun with Arena! Best Frank (Better is to ask in our support forum, other Arena users can read it and if the question comes as second time I have a directly answer with link).
