 <code>

+**NOTE:**  A bespoke formula could be used to update this weighting.
+  * Instead of using the k factor/value of 400 that the original formula uses, this is changed to be 100 + ((score difference) * 2).
+  * So the max k factor would be 140 (20-0 is the biggest win, multiply by 2, add to 100).
