Display ELO in areana games

[tripitaka]

Is there a particular reason that the ELO ranking isn't displayed when playing arena games?

I would personally like to see this.

Just curious
Thanks

This was discussed when arena mode was introduced. If I recall correctly, it was because ELO is a different ranking system than the arena ranking system. In practical terms, it became "ranking I care about (arena)" vs "ranking I might or might not care about (ELO)". This also included handling issues of people who had the highest ELO ranking of the game, and then refused to play any games with ELO turned on. (There was an option to play timed games with ELO off, similar to the current untimed Training Mode.)

Since arena mode was supposed to be a different system than ELO, there was little reason to include both numbers at a table.
