ELO considering points and not only places

[RICO90]

Hi

I consider ELO should take into consideration points we have at the end of the table, and not only our place.
For example, if u finish 2nd (out of 6) with 2 points remaining, u will have many ELO points.
Whereas if u finish 6 (out of 6) with -1 point (so, only a small gap of 3 points), u will lose many ELO points.

What do you think about this ?

Elo is a difficult thing, every game across bga is drastically different. But the system is meant to make a universal understanding that a 500 elo will beat a 200 elo. But in some games this skill difference is not necessarily true. Its not in the hand of the games gurus, but bga attempts at consistency. Which is overall solid in my opinion.
