ELO ratings guide
An independent world basketball ranking based on ELO
This is a results-based ELO ranking of men's national teams, not the official FIBA World Ranking. Teams gain or lose points after rated international games according to opponent strength, venue, score margin, and competition context.
Ratings start at 1,500 and update after every rated result using a versioned, published model. Read the basketball ELO formula and assumptions.
