78 + 59.7 + 56.7 + 56.6 + 44.5 + 62 + 80.1 + (74.6×2.1) + (86.8×2.1) + (61.8×2.1) = 906.32

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2.1 + 2.1 + 2.1 = 13.3

906.32/13.3 = 68.1443609023

Or

68.14

DLSs final rating at CP was a 70.4 ... 

====

Add in their starting rating...

906.32 + 73.9 = 980.22

13.3 + 1 = 14.3

980.22 / 14.3 = 68.5468531469

Or... 68.55

The remaining points must be the hyperimprovement factor that DLS receives from Ned at the end of each season.

I can only assume Stan is speechless at my brilliance? 

Id love to know what he meant by .217 or something or another...

Multiply that by 10 and add it to DLS' actual final rating and that's the secret sauce for the Spartans and other Ned favorites in CP?

Lets see...

68.14...

.2185221436 (the new one he posted) x 10 = 2.185221436

68.14 + 2.185221436 = 70.325221436

or 70.33

DLS' final rating was 70.4

Round up 70.33 to 70.4 because thats how it is and voila....

Holy shit... you may be on to something

You also have to subtract that same number from any south east teams final rating also. I forgot to add that part.

Good stuff.  Gunna have to review slowly and fix my errors.  Was watching Federer win another slam and then the sun came out and pool time.  

Echs wasn't DLS held back by .2 due to East final rating?  That has to account somewhere in formula no?   A handful of us know that rule.  Not worth detailing unless you want lol.  No team can pass a team they lost to if the other team runs the table.  No matter what?   Maybe East DLS is wrong example.

I did the calculation for DLS.  Not sure who is right.  Sometimes I’m closer and sometime you are.

I can sort of see your logic but not sure if it is correct.  I think you can see my logic but am not sure that it is correct either.

Here’s what I got for DLS.

 

Regular season average            62.5

Playoff average                           75.1

 

62.5  x  .32258  =     20.17

75.1  x  .67742  =   +50.87

                                71.04 PR    (so it’s pretty close, this time)

You might wonder how I got the two decimal place numbers above:

.67742 / .32258 = 2.1      (giving playoffs 2.1 times the weight)

.67742 + .32258 = 1.00000

 

Oh the number at the top is .2815221436 which is to show that I didn't make up something because I know sure as hell that someone will say that I hadn't a clue as to how to do this.

.32258 x .67742 =  .2185221436

Sorry, I misread one of DLS's playoff games as 88.8 when it should have been 86.8

The  regular season component remained at                  20.17

The playoff  component went down to                         +  50.40

  Final PR        down from 71.04                                      70.57

 

DLS PR was                                                                    70.4

I can tell you that I am not wrong. I do see what youre doing ...

Theres also more than 1 way to get to the right answer.

Another ?  Freeman mentions ** are weighted differently yet are boldfaced.  

We don't know what the weighted differently means or do we exclude the ** in the ratings tally even though Freeman says roughly avg the boldfaced games?  

True... if we wanted to with DLS... their ** game is the 78... if we want it to count less.... say it only counts 50% ... itd look this way

 (78×.5) + 59.7 + 56.7 + 56.6 + 44.5 + 62 + 80.1 + (74.6×2.1) + (86.8×2.1) + (61.8×2.1) = 867.32

.5 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2.1 + 2.1 + 2.1 = 12.8

867.32/12.8 = 67.76

Doing it this way, its never going to be perfect... he never says how much the ** games are weighed, or how much the grey games are weighed.

"Roughly" :).  I "think" he omits the grey totally.   Boldfaced we agree no way to tell what that weight is with ** or if he even does anything with the * or not.  We know the .2 rule (Pops called that I think?). That isn't mentioned by Freeman in any text.   Still unknowns.   Fisher has the secret sauce, Ned has a little roughly.  It's all good.

Ok... let me take a stab.

Same # of Regular Season games as Playoff games are Bolded.

Regular Season Average = 70

Playoff Game Average =  80

2.1 Boost to Playoff games.

 

The final rating in this scenario is going to end up right at 77.2 ... you want to see how I got to that #?

Actually, you got it wrong but I think it is because you miscalculated

By your method you should have gotten    70       +        168  (80 * 2.1)        =    238         =      76.7742

                                                                     1        +               2.1                  =     3.1

 

 

I get 76.7742 using my method but it seems easier when using several numbers.  Do it your way if you like.

70  x   .32258   =   22.5806

80  x   .67742   =   54.1936

                              76.7742

It says As you'd imagine, playoff results (and in particular, championship results) are weighted much more heavily in determining a team's ratings than are regular-season results.  ... so championship games count even more?

Valdosta

76.8 + 67.1 + 37.8 + 66 + 48.3 + 36.5 + 70.9 + 66.7 + 58.5 + 59.8 + 52.9 + (66.7×2.1) + (54.9×2.1) + (69.1×2.1) + (73.1×2.1) = 1195.28

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2.1 + 2.1 + 2.1 + 2.1 = 19.4

1195.28 / 19.4 = 61.61

Valdosta finished 63.8

Im guessing the +2.5 in his state scaling had something to do with this. Also the fact that the Championship game counts for even more than the rest of the playoffs... of which Valdosta had a 73.1 PR in the Championship... im certain this accounts for some of it.

=====

Trying it Stans way...

Regular Season Avg = 58.3  .32258 = 18.806414

Playoff Average = 65.95 .67742 = 44.675849

63.48

... he gets pretty close there.

====

Trying McEachern

51.3 + 63.6 + 61.6 + 67.4 + 63.4 + 50.5 + 54.8 + (61×2.1) + (58.4×2.1) + (49.7×2.1) = 767.71

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2.1 + 2.1 + 2.1 = 13.3

767.71 / 13.3 = 57.722556391

McEacherns final PR was 57.5 ...

=========

Using Stans way...

Regular Season = 58.9428571429    .32258

Playoff Season = 56.3666666667     .67742

38.1839073333 + 19.0137868572 = 

57.1976941905

McEacherns PR is 57.5 

Were both pretty close on McEachern, mine a smidgen closer ..

His was closer with Valdosta and mine McEachern.

 

I wish I knew exactly how much Championship games were worth also.

50.6 is the target rating for this team...

55.6 + 54.7 + 34.1 + 69.1 + 62 + 37.2 + 20.7 + 73.1 + 56.8 + (47.3×2.1) = 562.63

9 + 2.1 = 11.1 

562.63 / 11.1 = 50.68

I pretty much hit it here

....

Lets use Stans way...

Regular = 463.3/9 = 51.4777777778  × .32258 = 16.6057015556

Playoffs = 47.3/1 = 47.3 × .67742 = 32.041966

= 48.6

 

50.6 was the target...

 

Im much closer here...

 

The problem with yours is Stan... if theres a lot more regular season than playoff games... yours is going to probably be off more and more... because you are making that 1 playoff game worth too much in this teams case.

 

In fact Im about to find a playoff team that got blown out in their 1st playoff game... and show you some errors

Lets try this team.. the target rating is 44.1

57.4 + 28.4 + 49.1 + 55.3 + 44.6 + 63.4 + 58.7 + (44.2×2.1) + (23.8×2.1) = 499.7

7 + 4.2 = 11.2 

499.7 / 11.2 = 44.62

Only .52 off

 

====

And Stans Way ...

356.9/7 = 50.9857142857 × .32258 = 16.4469717143

68/2 = 34 × .67742 = 23.03228

= 39.48

 

You are off by 4.62 here... while im only off by .52... theres a reason for this.

Your way is making the playoffs worth 2.1 times more, not just each game.. but the entire playoffs.... if a team only plays 1 playoff game, but has 9 regular season games... you are still making that 1 playoff game mean over twice what those 9 regular season games will... its the flaw in yours... that can get you close sometimes, but its technically not correct.

My way I can make each individual game equal exactly what I want it to...

 

 

This team was Norcross GA btw...

Stanscript,

Lets make a pretend scenario...so I can better explain why your way technically isnt right.

Lets say, a team has 9 Bolded Regular Season games, and only 1 Bolded Playoff game because they lost... 

Your way would make that 1 single playoff game would mean twice as much as 9 Bolded Regular season games...

Where as in my way... 1 Playoff game would be 2.1 of 11.1 ... or to put it into percentages, that playoff game would be 18.92% of their rating, where as each regular individual regular season game accounts for 9.009% of the rating ... (where as if all games were counted equal, and there were 10 total bolded game, each would be 10% of the total)

This way the playoff game would be given the proper weight ... and if you wanted to do it the way you are... the proper way in this scenario would be ...

1 Playoff game Average × .1892

9 Regular season Avg x .8108

(.1892+.8108 = 1.000)

 

If theres 2 Bolded Playoff games and 9 Bolded Regular Season games... itd be 4.2 + 9 = 13.2 ... 4.2 of 13.2 is 31.82%

So if theres 11 total bolded games, 2 are playoff games and 9 regular season games.... the playoff games would be 31.82% of the final PR and the regular season games would be the other 68.18%

So youd do

2 Playoff game average × .3182

9 Regular season avg × .6818

(This means each individual playoff game is worth 15.91%, while each individual regular season game is worth only 7.576%)

 

Want me to make up some #s and try it?

 

Does this all make sense to you?

I see where you are coming from but that is still a bit of an outlier situation.  If I get closer on 55% of the estimations and you get closer on 45% which might include a few outliers you'll claim victory.on them because that's how you look at things.  We can agree to disagree on the better system.  I'd rather be closer on teams that don't lose the first game of the playoffs and closer on teams that actually advance because they are generally higher ranked teams.

Its not about whos right the most... its about the way its done, lol. And what makes the most sense.

More teams lose in the 1st and 2nd rounds, and the less playoff games played the higher chance Ill be right. Ill be right more often either way.

You cant say 1 playoff game is worth 67 percent of a teams rating if theres 9 other bolded games. Thats not how it works, Im trying to show you the correct way.

Be stubborn if you want to and dont listen... you were that way about state averages/state scaling... and guess what? I was right... the same way I am here... do as you like though, Im done trying to convince people that dont want to listen.

 

Your way... no matter if theres 1 playoff game or 5... itll count for 67 percent of the rating... that is wrong... each individual game is given a 2.1 boost , so you do that individually. 

My way will ALWAYS be close, because its technically right... there are times you'll be close and there are times youll be COMPLETELY wrong.
