How does gxe work on showdown?

Title says it all. Also, does gxe have any relations with the elo? If yes, then how are they related? Because I wanna see if I don’t suck enough to get the voting reqs for Spectrier

I hope you don’t mind that I don’t understand anything of these stuff, 100% copied from Smogon :D

I read Glickman’s paper (the inventor of the Glicko and Glicko-2 rating systems) and he provides an equation that essentially calculates the probability that a player with rating R_1 and deviation RD_1 beats another player with rating R_2 and deviation RD_2. It is written below:

After consulting a bit with the community, it was decided that this system’s rating should represent the estimated percentage that that player has of winning a battle against a random opponent.So, finally, here is what I propose to be a much better estimate of the player’s rating. I’m calling it GLIXARE, short for ‘Glicko - X-Act Rating Estimate’:

SourceRating is your ELO. “Rating deviation” refers to Glicko-1. Whenever you don’t have a GXE, it shows “(more games needed)”. This is because your deviation is more than 100, as explained in the above calculation.Hope this helps!
