TMRG 2011 Week 25

The increased number of competitors challenges my theme-width. If you click here, a larger image-version of the table will appear in a new window (you might want to try full-screen (F11) on that).

Below is this week’s average and efficiency table. Dividing the Total of points scored by all players by the number of Picks made by all players gives the Average scored for the picks of that event. The Maximum is reached by working out the perfect score for each player in that series, 50 for one pick, 90 for two picks, 125 for three, et cetera, and adding all these up. The Efficiency is what percentage the Total is of this Maximum.

	Total	Picks	Average	Maximum	Efficiency
MotoGP	2354	71	33·2	2542	92·6%
NASCAR	889	49	18·1	1904	46·7%
Total	3243	120	27·0	4446	72·9%

Had everyone chosen 3-3-2-2 splits, the maximum would have been 374*12 = 4488, of which 3243 is 72·3%.

Below are the accumulative tables. ‘Sportscars’ includes ALMS, LMS, ILMC and Le Mans (but not Daytona).

	Total	Picks	Average	Maximum	Efficiency
MotoGP	15652	449	34·9	17499	89·4%
Formula 1	16834	501	33·6	19044	88·4%
DTM	5771	176	32·8	7144	80·8%
Sportscars	8087	244	33·1	9970	81·1%
Indycar	10298	369	27·9	14842	69·4%
NASCAR	13553	665	20·4	25770	52·6%

Simoncelli abandoning his all-or-nothing approach has seen MotoGP become even more consistent. New Hampshire is reasonably predictable by NASCAR standards, but that was a more mixed result than usual and certain drivers do better than others there.

Below is shown how many points the winners have been getting and their efficiencies. The efficiencies are the percentage of points the winner of that week got of the maximum points available.

In a one-event week, picking the top-seven would give 241 points. In a three-event week, picking the top-three for two events and the top-four for the other would give 407 points. Of course, only a 4-3-3 split would give that opportunity. For example, a 5-4-1 split could only ever garner up to 394 points (96·8%). No one this year (so far) or last year has ever achieved a maximum score, either for the best split or the split they chose.

(I am not looking to grade wins as winning is winning, with some weeks being more predictable than others.)

Apologies for truncating people’s names for width reasons. signals a race for which I consider the result was significantly effected by rain. (p) marks a NASCAR restrictor-plate race. (r) marks a NASCAR road-race.

I seem to have lost the option to disable comments. Would you please leave any feedback over on Patrick’s game-posts, as this is only intended as an extension of those.
