2016 IRI Invitations -

[Richard Wallace]

Invited teams represent 14 US states, Canada, and 6 District systems:

• One each from Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia
• Two each from California, Florida, and Wisconsin
• Three each from Chesapeake, Illinois, and New England
• Four from Texas
• Five each from Minnesota and New York
• Six from Mid Atlantic
• Eight from Canada
• Ten from Indiana
• Sixteen from Michigan

I would love to see how this IRI field compares against earlier events on Jim's mean vs. signal-to-noise-ratio of OPR plot. I am guessing the point will be way up and to the right.

edit: Doing the calc myself using season OPRs here, I get Mean = 46.3, SNR = 14.4. The IRI Mean OPR is a little off the top of Jim's chart, and the SNR is a little to the right of MSC. So, as usual, IRI is the strongest and most balanced field yet.
