Ranking the Teams of TAR: Unfinished Business

<< < (4/6) > >>

--- Quote from: theschnauzers on December 19, 2010, 03:40:47 PM ---This actually proved useful for TAR All-Stars (11), so I thought I would distill out the placement averages of the TAR:UB teams in their original seasons.

It'll be interesting to see whether as many teams average approximately the same as was the case in TARAS. I have no idea whether that will be the case or not.

What each column represents, then, is this: (A) Original season and Finish Order; (B ) Team; (C ) Original Season Placements divided by Original Season Legs; (D) Original Season Placement Average; (E) Ranking Among the 190 Teams from seasons 1 through 17.


16-02 Jet/Cord      31/12   2.5833    (13 of 190)
14-03 Margie/Luke   33/12   2.7500[/color] (18 of 190)
15-04 Flight Time/Big Easy   34/11   3.0909 (31 of 190)
12-02 Ronald/Christina    38/11   3.4545 (47 of 190)
14-06 Mel/Mike       25/7   3.5714 (50 of 190)
12-05 Kynt/Vyxsin      29/8   3.6250 (52 of 190)
14-02 Cara/Jaime      47/12   3.9166 (62 of 190)
14-04 Kisha/Jen      47/11   4.2727 (76 of 190)
14-08 Amanda/Kris      18/4   4.5000 (82 of 190)
17-06 Gary-Mallory       37/8   4.6250 (86 of 190)
15-09 Zev/Justin      24/4   6.0000 (133 of 190)

They are also ironically, the two teams with the best averages.

And Kisha and Jen is third in terms of averages. :lol:

I've had some RL things to deal with, and haven't gotten the posts ready yet. I expect to have more by the weekend.

A positive value is an improved placement average compared to a team's original season; a negative value is an lesser placement average compared to a team's original season.

The key is that the closer the team is to their final placement of their original season, the smaller the value of the difference. A "+" is an improvement over the original season; a "-" is a deterioration over the original season.

I should have mentioned last week that the remaining teams are listed in the range of best improved to most decreased average placements of their current average placement compared to their final placement of that team's original season. We may well see some movement after the next leg, given the placement trends (posted in the main Ranking the Teams thread).

So far only Kisha and Jen have been extremely close to their average of their original seasons, but most of the teams are within two placements of their original average at the half-way point.
