Ranking the Teams -- A basis for comparing all teams (TAR 1 - 33)

<< < (61/76) > >>

theschnauzers:
I don't deal with the international editions, as I don't get to see any of them. If you want to supply me with all of the seasons of all those editions, so I can confirm the application of common placement averaging objectively, then I'll consider a separate computation for all of those. Thus these threads apply to the mothership, as everyone has gotten broadcast access at one time or another.

I should have leg 3 leaderboard and leaderboard trends up within a day or two.

theschnauzers:
This is the first of the leaderboard trends for season 28. From week to week, most of the teams have had a poor leg while otherwise good, or the obverse (a good leg but otherwise not good, and some have been stready. It really doesn't reflect the near 8-way tie at the end of leg 4, but these are averages, first of all, and second of all, and third of all.

For the first one, I am listing the placement averages as of the end of each of the first four legs. That is how we document the actual generalization of each team's trend line. I;ve decided that although it is harder for me to format, I'm am going to have the oldest leg to the left, and the newest leg at the right for each team's set of placement average.

Marionete:
How are the averages calculated?
Each placement of when the team is shown "Currently in X place"?

And if Dana & Matt are slowly falling, why aren't Burnie & Ashley slowly rising? Their (dis)improvements are identical.

theschnauzers:
Please read the opening post of the original overall ranking the teams thread. As to the "slowly" part it is partially subjective because this first time, I'm looking at four legs, not three, and I'm also taking into account the fact that the eight remaining teams were essentially in a first place tie. And I tried to give less weight to the first leg as opposed to the other three legs.After leg 5, I will only be using three legs and the characterization will be clearer. You do need to visualize how the averages look on a graph to get what the trend lines are.

Marionete:
Okay, I will. :tup: Which thread is the original one though? :lol:

I just meant that from leg 1 to leg 4 Dana & Matt had placement changes of +1.5/+0.5/+0, while Burnie & Ashley had -1.5/-0.5/-0, so the trends are simply opposite, but shouldn't be different in a way that only one is slowly changing. ???
