About javas.app
A website for Trackmania related apps and tools
This website has been made to share any Trackmania related apps and tools that I have developed.
This website is currently home to the COTD Elo ranking, a chess like Elo-ranking that is calculated on division 1 results of all COTD's.
For now, this is the only thing that this website shows, but I'm planning on adding quite a bit more.
If you've encountered any bugs and/or have any feedback, you can join my discord server to let me know!

About Elo ranking
A chess like Elo-ranking for COTD
In chess, all players are rated by their Elo-rating. If a player wins against someone with a lower Elo, their rating increases slightly.
If they win against a player with a higher rating, their rating increases significantly.
While chess is played 1v1, this system can also be applied to Trackmania's COTD.
This can be done by matching every player in a division against the other 63 players in a 1v1.
By calculating the Elo change for every 1v1 matchup in a division, a total Elo change can be determined for a COTD result.
This Elo-ranking shows the resulting Elo for all players after taking into account all division 1 results of the main COTD.
Only players that have played at least 25 COTD's in division 1, and have at least 5 division 1 appearances in the last 75 days, will appear in this leaderboard.
These limits have been set so that every player has competed in a large enough amount of matches to be able to reliably determine their Elo.
The 5 recent division 1 appearances guarantee that a player is currently active so that the listed Elo ratings are currently accurate.
The leaderboard does not show the exact Elo-ratings, but a rating that has been converted to a value between 0 and 100.
Players that have the same rating in the leaderboard are actually still ordered by their exact Elo rating.
A player at position 8 with rating 86 is thus likely to be higher rated than a player at position 9 with the same rating.
The change column shows how much Elo a player has gained or lost with their last COTD result.
The leaderboard updates every day at COTD+1.
You might notice that some well known players are quite low on the ranking and vice versa.
This is because the rating system rewards consistently high finishes.
If a player for example qualifies for division 1, but chooses not to play rounds, they are classified as last and thus lose a lot of points.
If a player finishes consistently in the top 8/16, they are likely to appear towards the top 10 of this leaderboard rather quickly, even if they haven't won a COTD.
