Last night @ajolipa.bsky.social and I crested the hill and got Elo 2.0 available to the public! Check out the work we've been doing at www.mtgeloproject.net. Read the most recent blog post, search for yourself and check for data errors, and enjoy some of the new features. ^_^

31 players have accomplished this feat. Any list with Kai and Shuhei at the top is pretty good company. GGs @atsevariel.bsky.social !

"New" names in Toronto raw data: 1110
New names that I've seen before and know how to translate: 248.
Uh, we're gonna need final standings to get anywhere with this.

Refresh is done. I thought for sure we'd get Portland standings in the middle of the redeploy, because that's just my luck... but no, we're still waiting. I'll wait one more day before compiling PT stats.
PT data is all ready to go, but I'm still missing final standings for Portland. I'll give up and upload everything with Melee names for Portland after work today. It's just awkward because I expect 30-40 people to get merged and that means the initial ratings will move around.

Sad RCQ story: my pool had six rares in it. #2026things

www.mtgeloproject.net is updated with SS Atlanta and SS Lyon, and their LCQs... just in time to start waiting for RC Portland results ^_^;

Also in this update: 30 NRG events were added, plus I moved the "is_active" date to 2022-01-01.

👀 Final standings! I'll curate today after work.

_Still_ waiting for SS Atlanta/Lyon final standings, but we did a bit of backend work this weekend, so I'm pushing an intermediate site refresh right now. This makes 30 NRG events public. Still have to add a leaderboard, planning to do that alongside the SS data.

On a deep Discord dive and came across this. Get Howled, sucker.

We have again entered the final standings waiting room. =p

Note that while I have gathered a bunch of destination/10K/"big" side events from 2022-2025 weekends, going forward the ONLY side events that I intend to include are the Limited Championship Qualifiers.
The Elo project is updated tonight with December tournaments + 66 old events from 2022-25. This update adds about 48.6k matches. For some information about what was added and what more is to come, read tonight's blog post: mtgeloproject.net/blog/61/

Random curious tidbit from this data dive yesterday: there were 99 "regulars", that is, people who have played 6+ pro events since PTONE. In that time span there have been 17276 pro matches. Fully a third of them (5765/17276=33.36%) involve a regular!

I was very lucky to be a Magic-obsessed 13-year-old when I was. Cataloging cards today: oh, Snap is $8? I must have twenty of those. Survey says:

I'm going to give it a day for Arena Champs 10 final standings to appear so I can get some names right, but after that I've got a tranche of 42 events, 35.8k matches ready to upload. It's been a busy weekend. ^_^;
December 22, 2025 at 4:11 AM
Oh right, new format. I need to update some json files when I add AC10 or I'll break the site...
December 19, 2025 at 8:32 PM
Looks like it's 13 RC sides and 21 SCGCON 10Ks to gather. Then there's some events in Europe and Japan, then I'll start thinking about NRG, then ...
I'm starting work to gather data from post-pandemic 10Ks. This will take some time, but the gears are turning. First up are the main side event/RCQ from each US RC, since next cycle we'll have limited qualifiers at all the RCs to do (yes, they'll all be for Elo, assuming I can get the data!).
December 9, 2025 at 6:12 PM
It took a month, but www.mtgeloproject.net is updated! This update adds 16 events (RCs, major RC side events, Worlds, EW EU legacy) and about 26,000 matches. @SethManfield is #1 again, and is back over 2300; the top 5 ratings are all players who made top 8 at Worlds. More soon!
December 8, 2025 at 9:13 PM
Curating update: JP ✔ EU ✔ USA ✔ still need to do CAN, email corrections (of which there are... several), and Worlds (which will be part of this update because it'll take ten minutes after the finals finish).

Going live now to do some Elo project curating! www.twitch.tv/ajlvi
December 5, 2025 at 12:58 AM
We finally have standings so I'm going to curate the US Regional Championship data tonight on stream, starting after dinner (8pm-ish Eastern time) at www.twitch.tv/ajlvi. If you ever wanted to see how the sausage is made, here's your chance!

Still waiting. If you wonder why these events aren't on the site yet, I haven't been able to start curating them, stream or no stream. I'll try to blitz EU+CA+JP in my own time, but we're still doing US on camera later this week.
I have never done this before, but I'm planning to stream the curation process for RC Vegas. Tentatively planning to do this on Friday, but it will depend on whether the final standings appear on magic.gg, because they are needed. If they aren't present, then it'll have to be next week.
December 1, 2025 at 8:20 PM
No final standings yet so we'll have to postpone this for when they do appear. Tomorrow is out for me, if somehow they're up by Sunday we'll do it then, otherwise the night next week when they're first available.

I've uploaded and timestamped the commentary that @ajelenbogen.bsky.social and I did for RC Yokohama; it's now on the Elo Project YouTube channel. If you want to see what Japan's best brought to the table, here you go:
