**CURRENTLY IN EARLY ALPHA TESTING** An addon that tracks and shares duel history. It gives ratings based on wins, losses, matchups, rating differential, etc. It has leaderboards and Seasons with top 10 displayed on WarcraftEvents.com.
***I HAVE MOVED DEVELOPMENT TO
"ARENA RATED DUELS"
A lightweight, fair duel rating addon for WoW Classic (Era).
Tracks your 1v1 duels with bracketed ratings (10–19, 20–29, …, 60), class-vs-class weighting, level difference scaling, placement matches, personal stats, and server-wide leaderboards. Includes optional “seasons” with top-10 snapshots.Features
-
Elo-style rating with dual K-factor:
-
10 placement matches for quicker convergence.
-
Level difference scaling (less gain vs much lower level; more vs higher level).
-
Class matchup weights (e.g., Warrior vs Mage unfavorable for Warrior).
Matrix is configurable in code; defaults included. -
Diminishing returns vs the same opponent (spam dueling doesn’t inflate rating).
-
-
Brackets that match Battleground groups: 10–19, 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60.
-
Two clean views
-
My Duels: your rating, W/L/D (declines), per-class W/L table, bracket filter.
-
Leaderboard: list of players and ratings (not “Player A vs B” spam).
Separate All Matches tab shows detailed results:Player (rating) vs Player (rating) → Winner (+Δ / −Δ)
-
-
Outcome handling
-
Win / Loss from combat log system text.
-
Declined recorded (no rating change).
-
Fled/out-of-bounds detected from duel state; loser is tagged (configurable).
-
-
Automatic class/level capture
-
From target/mouseover (UnitClass/UnitLevel).
-
From GUID (
GetPlayerInfoByGUID) as a backup. -
From /who with exact-name queries (
n-Name) if needed.
No protected actions, no automation, just reading public info.
-
-
Seasons (owner-controlled)
-
Snapshot Top 10 and wipe ratings to start fresh.
-
Season badge on “My Duels”.
-
-
UI polish
-
Colorized rating deltas (+green / −red).

Minor styling for readability; columns line up neatly.

Design & testing: the Classic Duel Arena community.Big thanks to duelers who helped validate class capture (target/mouseover, GUID,/who) across edge cases.
