ELO points wrongly calculated?

Post by John Crabsto »

I've been searching about ELO points calculation and there's a thing I don't understand. In the past few weeks I saw many games where the ELO points were not well aditioned at the end for some players. For exemple check the 1st and 2nd players in each of these:

https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=88272506
https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=87091080
https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=77578216

If we take the first game and we make the calculation for 1st place we obtain: 9.23 + 9.84 + 9.94 + 12.92 + 11.03 + 15.8 (I checked, these numbers are ok).
This operation should result in 68.7 ELO points, but all I obtained was 28.65...

I've checked the FAQ page in case the ELO points for multiplayer games were calculated differently, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Does anyone know about this?

Thank you in advance. I'm sorry if it's just a silly question and not a bug at all.

Elo points are different in multiplayer. I have no idea why that is not explained in rules.
