StartRNR

StartRNR is an implementation of the cutting-edge player rating system known as Relative Network Rating (RNR) for competitive gaming. It uses start.gg's tournament data to generate and maintain a network of relative advantages between players.

Once the advantage network is generated, StartRNR can be used to predict the probability of a player winning a match, generate provably optimal seedings for tournaments, inspect the match history of two players, and create competitive rankings automatically.

All of these features work for any game, in any region, without restriction.

Warning

StartRNR is still under development; currently, it only supports generating the network.

Installation

For more information, see the installation page.

Build and install StartRNR using cargo:

cargo install --git https://github.com/kiana-S/StartRNR

Alternatively, if you use Nix:

nix profile install github:kiana-S/StartRNR

Configuration

StartRNR stores its rating databases in its config directory, which is located at:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Roaming\startrnr
• MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/startrnr
• Linux: ~/.config/startrnr

There are few reasons to access this directory directly, but you can if you want to transfer your datasets between computers.
