The Amazing Race > The Amazing Race Discussion
Ranking the Teams -- A basis for comparing all teams (TAR 1 - 33)
theschnauzers:
The original thread is the other thread. :groan:
Here's an example of ambiguity and the verbal description of a team's trend. Suppose the team's average for the three most recent legs are 4.0, 4.5, 4.0. Not clear by itself was the trend is. Suppose you then knew that prior to those three legs, the team has a 4.5. Verbally, I'd say the team was steady because there is minimum movement. Suppose the average on that prior leg the team was a 5.0, or conversely a 4.0. You have a trendline that has slowed from either direction; rising or slowing. Or yo have a team that has been widely gyrating, which could be indeterminate. The point is that it doesn't take much to go from "slowly" to steady or the other way around, or from "rising" or "falling" to "slowly";
A team that stays one place above the bottom is slowly going to rise slowly by the nature of the process, a team that stays at the same placement or varies no mire than by one, is doing to be steady with minor shifts getting smaller as a decimal and the Race proceeds. Because that is the nature of the computation,, I take these patterns into account to a small degree in attaching a verbal label. This also explains why it is inexact.
I should have it up by tomorrow aometime.

If TAR Asia 2 were counted as 13 legs, we would have Marc & Rovilson won 8 legs, Adrian & Collin won 3 legs and Ann & Diane, Pamela & Vanessa won a leg each, and this season is also marked with no Co-ed teams finished 1st and 2nd in any leg

Not sure this has much to do with this thread. Perhaps someone familiar with the placements of all of the non-US editions would like to take on a companion set of threads? I have seen little of any of the international editions, so I'm not qualified to comment.
Meanwhile in the next post, we return to our topic.

Here's the second analysis of leaderboard trends following leg 5. I held this for this weekend, as the show returns on Friday.
--- Code: ---
Placement Averages (in order by most recent three legs)
Leg 3 Leg 4 Leg 5 Trend Final Placement
Line Average
Tyler-Korey 1.6666 1.7500 1.6000 steady
Kurt-Brodie 2.6666 2.0000 2.0000 steady
Dana-Matt 3.0000 3.0000 3.0000 steady
Burnie-Ashley 4.0000 4.0000 4.4000 falling slowly
Zach-Rachel 6.0000 5.7500 5.6000 rising slowly
Sheri-Cole 7.6666 7.5000 7.4000 rising slowly
Scott-Blair 9.3333 9.0000 8.0000 rising
28-08 Erin-Joslyn 7.2000

This one? >> http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,26663.0.html
But it was started almost 2 years later, so this doesn't make much sense to me :lol:
Concerning the trends for Dana/Matt and Burnie/Ashley that I mentioned before, I still don't understand why identical graphs produce different tags, but whatever, there's not much significance to it if you don't feel like bothering.
