Ranked ELO Racing Ladder

A server-authoritative ELO rating that rises and falls per finish, with skill tiers and an admin-only seasonal reset ranking racers on a ladder.

Description

A ranked ladder that updates each racer's ELO after every head-to-head result, assigns skill tiers (Bronze through Diamond), and supports an admin-only seasonal reset. It gives a server real competitive structure — the thing dedicated racers grind for — and because the rating math runs only on the server, ranks can't be self-edited.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Client-side ELO — computing the new rating on the client lets a racer set their own ELO. All K-factor math runs server-side.
  • Self-match corruption — applying a result where winner equals loser, or with a non-numeric id, garbles ratings; validate distinct numeric ids first.
  • Open reset — exposing the season reset as a public command lets anyone wipe the ladder; make it RegisterCommand(..., true) / admin-only.

Corrective re-prompt: "Ratings can be written client-side and the season reset is public. Move the entire ELO calculation server-side, reject any result where winnerSrc and loserSrc aren't two distinct numbers, and register the reset as a restricted admin command (third arg true), never a client one."

Framework Integration

ESX: ESX = exports["es_extended"]:getSharedObject(); resolve ladder display names via ESX.GetPlayerFromId(id).getName(). QBCore: exports['qb-core']:GetCoreObject(); pull names from GetPlayer(id).PlayerData.charinfo and gate reset behind a QBCore admin permission. QBox: exports.qbx_core:GetPlayer(id) for identity; rating storage keys cleanly off the server id.

Profit Potential

$250–$3500/mo on Tebex (expected ~$900). [INFERRED] Priced inside the $50-389 script band against the signal-scraper tebex_snapshot corpus (median seller $11.85K/mo, n=100); a competitive-integrity ladder commands the upper band for a rising niche.

Trend Signal

rising — inferred: [INFERRED] ranked ELO ladders ride the competitive-racing trend; rising.

Sales Angle

Sell the competitive-integrity story: a real ranked ladder with tiers and seasons, not a vanity time board. Price at $299 on Tebex for serious racing communities.
