I didn't know that Elo ratings were used for other sports.

I found this page some years ago, and kindly asked to borrow
the formulas for a fantasy football game I play. After adding
the results from each week for nine seasons (up to 270 games
depending on how long each team has been in the league), the
current 48 teams range between 1228 and 2389 in rating, with
the top 15 all beyond 2000.

I don't know how representative it is to have 30% of the
participants beyond 2000 in an ELO based system, but I
believe I can benefit from this artificial rating somehow.
