By no means am I suggesting that this model is perfect. From the numbers that Team 1114 has run, there are some definite anomalies. That being said, for the most part this model seems to agree with the specific match data we've collected at three events we attended.

Like with most statistics, the value is all in how you interpret them. If you don't think they're accurate, ignore them.

I am not a mathematician, I saw numbers that were wrong (not a little wrong, WILDLY wrong) and I posed a theory based on my feeling not on any math.

We are not competing in Atlanta so I have no need for this data, all I am saying some of what I see in spreadsheet is very wrong.

You can ignore it, I don't care.


Edit: I'll still buy you a doughnut in Atlanta.
