COIL is being used for suspect tests again, it would help to add a short description to the ladder faq. Help room RFAQ currently states: "COIL is a system that was developed for suspect requirement purposes. Your COIL score is a function of your GXE and the number of battles you have had on the ladder. The higher your GXE, the fewer number of battles you'll need to achieve reqs." as well as linking to this post: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/coil-explained.3508013/

This post outlines the way to calculate COIL, which is consistent with the way that Elo is calculated on the ladder help page.
 
The new client's COIL explanation is:

COIL (Converging Order Invariant Ladder) is used for suspect tests. The more games you play, the closer it will get to your GXE × 4000. How fast it reaches GXE × 4000 depends on a custom B value which is different for each suspect test.

Which I think is slightly more specific than the Help roomfaq while not getting into the math.
