You can now update your QLRanks elo from Quake Live using the QLM bot, if you do not want to join #QLRanks and use !update on IRC or if the [QLRANKS] irc bot is offline.

Step 1: Add the player "QLM" to your QL friends list. The friend request will be accepted automatically.

Step 2: Send the message .update or .update PlayerName to QLM on Quake Live. You can use the chat box on the QL site or the console, or you can bind to a key. (The bind would be: bind x tell_buddy QLM .update)

Auto updates:
The QLM bot can also update your Elo when the map changes or when you disconnect from a duel, CTF, CA, TDM, or FFA server. To use this, send the message .autoupdate on to the QLM bot.


Hopefully this is helpful.
