ELO rating calculator (not chess!)

[playjunior]

There is a game I want to create a tournament director for.
Does anyone know a software which would produce ELO ratings
like BayesElo? The reason I'm reluctant to use BayesELO is:

1. BayesELO usues pgn files
2. BayesELO distinguishes between black/white which is not present in the game I am interested in.

Any ideas?

Isn't there a command in BayesElo to disable the white/black advantage thing?

Just set the 'advantage' to zero in the elo interface.

The only thing BayesElo uses from the PGN are the player and result tag, and a PNG result to recognize where the game ends (any result will do). I once made a synthetically generated PGN file with a random generator to test BayesElo, using a format like below, and it worked fine.

Code: Select all

[White "Player0"]
[Black "Player1"]
[Result "0-1"]
1. 1/2-1/2 {draw agreed}
[White "Player0"]
[Black "Player2"]
[Result "1-0"]
1. 1/2-1/2 {draw agreed}
[White "Player0"]
[Black "Player3"]
[Result "0-1"]
1. 1/2-1/2 {draw agreed}
[White "Player0"]
[Black "Player4"]
[Result "1-0"]
...

Thanks, this would do just fine.
