Elote: Elegant Rating Systems in Python
=======================================

**Elote** is a powerful Python library for implementing and comparing rating systems. Whether you're ranking chess players, sports teams, or prioritizing features in your product backlog, Elote provides a simple, elegant API for all your competitive ranking needs.

Rating systems allow you to rank competitors based on their performance in head-to-head matchups. The most famous example is the Elo rating system used in chess, but these systems have applications far beyond sports:

- Ranking products based on A/B comparisons
- Prioritizing features through pairwise voting
- Creating recommendation systems
- Matchmaking in games and competitions
- Collaborative filtering and ranking

Elote makes implementing these systems simple and intuitive, with a clean API that handles all the mathematical complexity for you.
