+
+## Key Features Implemented
+
+### 1. ELO Rating System
+- **Standard ELO Formula**: Mathematical rating calculation based on player vs puzzle difficulty
+- **Performance Multipliers**: 
+  - Time-based bonuses/penalties (±15 points for speed)
+  - Hint usage penalties (-5 points per hint)
+  - Attempt count penalties (-3 points per extra attempt)
+  - Difficulty weighting (1.0x to 1.5x multiplier)
+- **Adaptive K-Factor**: Ranges from 10-40 based on player experience
+- **Rating Bounds**: Minimum rating of 100 to prevent negative values
+
+### 2. Skill Tier System
+Seven-tier ranking system:
+- **Bronze** (< 1200): New players
+- **Silver** (1200-1399): Developing skills
+- **Gold** (1400-1599): Intermediate players
+- **Platinum** (1600-1799): Advanced players
+- **Diamond** (1800-1999): Expert players
+- **Master** (2000-2399): Elite players
+- **Grandmaster** (≥ 2400): Top-tier players
+
+### 3. Seasonal System
+- **Time-based Seasons**: Default 3-month periods
+- **Configurable Resets**: Optional seasonal rating resets
+- **Status Tracking**: Active/Ended/Reset status management
+- **Season History**: Performance tracking across multiple seasons
+
+### 4. Inactivity Decay
+- **Automatic Decay**: 2 points per week after 30 days of inactivity
+- **Cron Job**: Daily execution at 3 AM
+- **Minimum Protection**: Rating cannot fall below 100
+- **History Tracking**: Decay events recorded in rating history
+
+### 5. Comprehensive Tracking
+- **Detailed History**: Complete record of all rating changes
+- **Performance Metrics**: Time taken, hints used, attempts, completion status
+- **Change Reasons**: Completion, failure, decay, seasonal reset, admin adjustment
+- **Metadata Storage**: Expected win probability, K-factor, bonus factors
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Player Rating Management
+- `GET /skill-rating/player/:userId` - Get current player rating
+- `POST /skill-rating/puzzle-completion` - Update rating on puzzle completion
+- `GET /skill-rating/history/:userId` - Get rating change history
+- `GET /skill-rating/rank/:userId` - Get player's leaderboard rank
+
+### Leaderboard
+- `GET /skill-rating/leaderboard` - Get current season leaderboard
+
+### Season Management
+- `GET /skill-rating/season/current` - Get current active season
+- `GET /skill-rating/seasons` - Get all seasons
+- `POST /skill-rating/season/:seasonId/end` - End a season (admin)
+
+## Database Schema
+
+### Player Ratings Table
+- Tracks individual player ratings per season
+- Stores win/loss statistics and streaks
+- Maintains performance statistics
+- Links to users via foreign key
+
+### Rating History Table
+- Records every rating change event
+- Stores performance context (time, hints, attempts)
+- Tracks change reasons and metadata
+- Enables detailed analytics
+
+### Seasons Table
+- Manages seasonal periods
+- Stores season configuration
+- Tracks season status and dates
+- Supports seasonal resets
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Puzzle Completion Integration
+The system integrates seamlessly with the existing puzzle completion flow:
+
+```typescript
+// In puzzle completion handler
+const completionData = {
+  userId: 'user-uuid',
+  puzzleId: 'puzzle-uuid',
+  puzzleDifficulty: 'medium',
+  difficultyRating: 5,
+  wasCompleted: true,
+  timeTaken: 120,
+  hintsUsed: 0,
+  attempts: 1,
+  basePoints: 100
+};
+
+await skillRatingService.updateRatingOnPuzzleCompletion(completionData);
+```
+
+### Matchmaking Support
+- Provides ELO ratings for skill-based matchmaking
+- Tier information for balanced game creation
+- Performance history for advanced matching algorithms
+
+## Testing Coverage
+
+### Unit Tests
+- ELO calculation accuracy
+- Skill tier assignment
+- Inactivity decay logic
+- Performance multiplier calculations
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Complete rating update flow
+- History tracking
+- Leaderboard functionality
+- Season management
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Season Configuration
+```json
+{
+  "decayEnabled": true,
+  "decayPeriodDays": 30,
+  "decayAmount": 2,
+  "minRating": 100,
+  "kFactor": 32,
+  "tierThresholds": {
+    "bronze": 1200,
+    "silver": 1400,
+    "gold": 1600,
+    "platinum": 1800,
+    "diamond": 2000,
+    "master": 2400
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Indexing**: Strategic indexes on frequently queried fields
+- **History Pagination**: Configurable history limits
+- **Caching**: Natural caching through season-based data
+- **Batch Operations**: Efficient bulk season management
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Glicko-2 Implementation**: More sophisticated rating confidence
+2. **Advanced Analytics**: Rating prediction and trend analysis
+3. **Achievement Integration**: Milestone-based achievements
+4. **Matchmaking API**: Direct integration with game matching
+5. **Rating Volatility**: Track rating stability over time
+6. **Peer Comparison**: Compare performance against similar players
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Verification
+
+✅ **ELO ratings calculated correctly** - Implemented standard ELO with performance multipliers
+✅ **Ratings adjust based on performance and difficulty** - Time, hints, attempts, and difficulty all factor in
+✅ **Tier system functional** - Seven-tier system with proper thresholds
+✅ **Decay applies to inactive players** - Automatic decay after 30 days via cron job
+✅ **Seasonal resets work** - Configurable seasonal reset functionality
+✅ **Tests verify all calculations** - Comprehensive unit and integration tests
+
+## Deployment Notes
+
+1. Run the database migration to create tables
+2. The system is automatically integrated into the main app module
+3. Cron jobs will start automatically with the application
+4. Initial season is created during migration
+5. API endpoints are immediately available
+
+The implementation provides a production-ready skill rating system that enhances player engagement through competitive ranking and performance tracking.

+# Player Skill Rating and ELO System
+
+## Overview
+
+This module implements a comprehensive ELO-based skill rating system for tracking player performance and skill levels in puzzle solving. The system includes:
+
+- ELO rating calculations with performance-based adjustments
+- Skill tier system (Bronze to Grandmaster)
+- Seasonal rating periods with optional resets
+- Inactivity decay mechanism
+- Detailed rating history tracking
+- Leaderboard functionality
+- Matchmaking support
+
+## Features
+
+### 1. ELO Rating System
+- **Base ELO Formula**: Standard ELO rating calculation
+- **Performance Multipliers**: 
+  - Time-based bonuses/penalties
+  - Hint usage penalties
+  - Attempt count penalties
+  - Difficulty weighting
+- **K-Factor Scaling**: Adaptive K-factor based on player experience
+- **Rating Bounds**: Minimum rating of 100 to prevent negative ratings
+
+### 2. Skill Tiers
+Players are categorized into skill tiers based on their ELO rating:
+
+| Tier | Rating Range | Description |
+|------|-------------|-------------|
+| Bronze | < 1200 | New players learning the basics |
+| Silver | 1200-1399 | Developing problem-solving skills |
+| Gold | 1400-1599 | Solid intermediate players |
+| Platinum | 1600-1799 | Advanced players |
+| Diamond | 1800-1999 | Expert level players |
+| Master | 2000-2399 | Elite players |
+| Grandmaster | ≥ 2400 | Top-tier players |
+
+### 3. Season System
+- **Seasonal Periods**: Time-based rating periods (default: 3 months)
+- **Optional Resets**: Configurable seasonal rating resets
+- **Season History**: Track performance across multiple seasons
+- **Status Tracking**: Active, Ended, Reset status for each season
+
+### 4. Inactivity Decay
+- **Decay Trigger**: After 30 days of inactivity
+- **Decay Rate**: 2 rating points per week of inactivity
+- **Minimum Protection**: Rating cannot decay below 100
+- **Automatic Application**: Runs daily via cron job
+
+### 5. Rating History
+- **Detailed Tracking**: Complete history of rating changes
+- **Performance Metrics**: Time taken, hints used, attempts
+- **Change Reasons**: Completion, failure, decay, seasonal reset
+- **Metadata Storage**: Expected win probability, K-factor, bonuses
+
+## Database Schema
+
+### Player Ratings Table
+```sql
+player_ratings {
+  id: uuid (PK)
+  userId: uuid (FK to users)

+```
+GET /skill-rating/player/:userId
+```
+Returns the current rating information for a player.
+
+### Update Rating on Puzzle Completion
+```
+POST /skill-rating/puzzle-completion
+```
+Body:
+```json
+{
+  "userId": "uuid",
+  "puzzleId": "uuid",
+  "puzzleDifficulty": "easy|medium|hard|expert",
+  "difficultyRating": 5,
+  "wasCompleted": true,
+  "timeTaken": 120,
+  "hintsUsed": 0,
+  "attempts": 1,

+
+### Get All Seasons
+```
+GET /skill-rating/seasons
+```
+
+### End Season (Admin)
+```
+POST /skill-rating/season/:seasonId/end
+```
+
+## ELO Calculation Details
+
+### Expected Win Probability
+```javascript
+// Convert puzzle difficulty (1-10) to ELO rating
+const puzzleEloRating = 800 + (difficulty - 1) * 133.33;
+
+// Standard ELO formula
+const expectedWinProbability = 1 / (1 + Math.pow(10, (puzzleEloRating - playerRating) / 400));
+```
+
+### K-Factor Determination
+- **New Players** (< 30 games): K = 40
+- **Established Players** (< 2000 rating): K = 20
+- **High-Rated Players** (< 2400 rating): K = 15
+- **Masters** (≥ 2400 rating): K = 10
+
+### Performance Bonuses/Penalties
+- **Time Bonus**: 
+  - ≤ 30% time limit: +15 points
+  - ≤ 60% time limit: +10 points
+  - ≤ 100% time limit: +5 points
+  - > 150% time limit: -5 points
+  - > 200% time limit: -10 points
+
+- **Hint Penalty**: -5 points per hint used
+- **Attempt Penalty**: -3 points per additional attempt
+- **Difficulty Multiplier**: 
+  - Easy (1-3): 1.0x
+  - Medium (4-5): 1.1x
+  - Hard (6-7): 1.3x
+  - Expert (8-10): 1.5x
+
+## Integration with Puzzle System
+
+The system integrates with the existing puzzle completion flow:
+
+1. When a puzzle is completed, call the `updateRatingOnPuzzleCompletion` endpoint
+2. The system automatically:
+   - Calculates the appropriate rating change
+   - Updates the player's tier
+   - Records the change in history
+   - Updates statistics
+
+Example integration in puzzle completion handler:
+```typescript
+// In your puzzle completion service
+async handlePuzzleCompletion(userId: string, puzzleId: string, result: PuzzleResult) {
+  const puzzle = await this.puzzleRepository.findOne({ where: { id: puzzleId } });
+  
+  const completionData = {
+    userId,
+    puzzleId,
+    puzzleDifficulty: puzzle.difficulty,
+    difficultyRating: puzzle.difficultyRating,
+    wasCompleted: result.completed,
+    timeTaken: result.timeTaken,
+    hintsUsed: result.hintsUsed,
+    attempts: result.attempts,
+    basePoints: puzzle.basePoints,
+  };
+  
+  await this.skillRatingService.updateRatingOnPuzzleCompletion(completionData);
+  
+  // Continue with other completion logic...
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Season Configuration
+```json
+{
+  "decayEnabled": true,
+  "decayPeriodDays": 30,
+  "decayAmount": 2,
+  "minRating": 100,
+  "kFactor": 32,
+  "tierThresholds": {
+    "bronze": 1200,
+    "silver": 1400,
+    "gold": 1600,
+    "platinum": 1800,
+    "diamond": 2000,
+    "master": 2400
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the ELO service tests:
+```bash
+npm run test src/skill-rating/elo.service.spec.ts
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- [ ] Glicko-2 rating system implementation
+- [ ] Matchmaking integration
+- [ ] Achievement system based on rating milestones
+- [ ] Rating prediction and analytics
+- [ ] Peer comparison features
+- [ ] Rating volatility tracking
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Rating not updating**: Ensure the puzzle completion data includes all required fields
+2. **Incorrect tier assignment**: Check the tier threshold configuration in the season
+3. **Decay not applying**: Verify the cron job is running and the player is actually inactive
+4. **History not recording**: Check database constraints and foreign key relationships
+
+### Debugging
+
+Enable debug logging:
+```bash
+LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run start
+```
+
+Check the service logs for rating calculation details and any errors.
