The Spring 2K4 SFF-Adjusted Extrapolated Standings

Mon, 2005-05-02 04:31 — creativename

The following matches were widely believed to cause much inaccuracy in the regular extrapolated standings, due to the very likely influence of Same Fanbase Factor. These SFF-adjusted standings attempt to rectify this by adjusting the losers upwards by a substantial amount. Note that this amount then "trickles down" and raises up any games that they were beneath them in the bracket tree. The adjustment factor for these games was 60%—a number based on no solid data whatsoever. This was simply something I thought was reasonable and simple. Thus, while it is believed these standings should be more accurate than the un-adjusted standings, they are quite "gimmicked".
