That is the only "performance rating" formula I have ever seen used.  There are
alternative ways to represent it... ie

TPR = opponents_rating + (400*(W-L))/N

and so forth.. but they are all the same.  If you know of another one, please
post it...  (btw "elo performance rating" doesn't (to me) imply that this is
in Elo's book, just that it is an estimated "Elo rating" based on nothing but
your opponent's rating, regardless of what yours is to start with).
