All New Teams come in at the median ELO of the league.

If 50.1% of the roster is returning, teams come in at their previous ELO from that league. If they are new to a location/league , teams will either come in at a low median elo or a high median elo based on performance in other LI-Kick Leagues and locations

ELO is a rating that reflects a player's skill relative to other players in the league. When you beat a good player, your ELO rating goes up, however when you suffer an upset, your ELO rating goes down. Our leagues use ELO as it continually adjusts to match a player's evolving skill level and provides a reliable metric for matchmaking and rankings. Players from previous seasons have their ELO carry over while new players will be assigned an 'initial ELO' to start their season.

Yes, in order to give players the most games at the most appropriate level you may play the same people or teams from week to week.

The first 3 weeks of the season are prescheduled based of a teams initial ELO. Weeks 4-6 are done on a week by week basis, based off of a teams current ELO with a "best matchup policy"
