It used a system called KRACH, which essentially recursively calculated a ranking.

The real crippling flaw of the Bykowski ranking was really the fact that he included results from every bad tournament he could get his hands on. If it were brought back with only tournaments being run on A-sets or better being included, I would have really enjoy having that to rank teams too, sort of a BCS computer ranking to Fred's AP poll.

Then we should have a poll that's the average of all the other polls. That would give us the best rankings.

Well, the Dec. 4th Houston Hoedown at St. John's is now in the record books -- and Cistercian Prep had some nice results.
Our JV "A" team took the # 1 spot at the end of the day in that division. For a group of 4 freshmen who've never played together as an ensemble, I was very impressed with how they meshed, fought back, and ultimately, won the day!

Our Varsity "A" had a nice run through the entire prelim rounds going 6 - 0 along with Seven Lakes.
In single elimination they continued doing nicely. Only the finals presented
a bit of challenge. In a LASA 'A' vs. CPS 'A", LASA came up the better.
LASA played a great, great game and deserved the # 1 slot at the end of the day.

When loooking back over the entire day, the Cistercian varsity 'A' did a nice job
all the way through -- both LASA and CPS finished the day with with 9-1 records,
if memory serves me correctly.

Hopefully, the upcoming national rankings will make my heart go pitter-patter with
some improvement in our standing, but at the end of the day, the game is still Atlanta/Nationals.

PS: Our Varsity "B" team team did very commendable work, too, running the prelims with 5-1 records;
however, the seedings of the gaggle of 5-1 teams didn't give us any leeway, so they exited sooner than we
would have hoped. But, they are a fantastically gifted group of Sophomores (and 1 junior)!

We should probably start the mid-season poll after this week since it seems there won't be many big tournaments on the 18th and definitely none on the 25th.

RyuAqua wrote:Dwight: with people such as Coach C and myself looking back to they days of an objective (if flawed, as Byko's was) ranking model for teams, is there any way one could engineer (and run) a new nationwide set of team rankings from the statistical stuff you've been working on? Or would that require a completely different approach, since this model only works for an individual question set?
So as I understand it, Byko's model (and the KRACH model it derives from) and NAQT's model (and the ELO model it derives from) both use only W-L record and compute rankings recursively that way. What this model does is use actual question-conversion statistics to generate a theoretically-more-real model of how teams that don't play each other might fare in a real game.

We can use a modified KRACH rating. Let's start with every team having a value of 1000, because that's a nice number. If we input the "expected long run" W-L matrix into the KRACH ratings, we should get new ratings. (If we want, we can then run the KRACH ratings for each individual tournament on that packet set, using actual W-L data.) Use these ratings as the initial conditions to the KRACH rating of the next packet set, with "expected long run" W-L matrix on a new set (let any teams with no data have a value of 1000).

We can do the exact same thing for the ELO ratings - start every team with a value of 1000 (or 1200 as in NAQT's model), input the "expected long run" W-L matrix into the ELO ratings, compute new ELO ratings (and then modify with actual tournament W-L data, if preferred), input another tournament's "expected long run" W-L matrix (and actual W-L data, if preferred) into the ELO ratings. Actually, with ELO, we can also use the "Monte Carlo simulation" win percentages as well, which is likely going to give more accurate results at the cost of much more computation. The other thing that the ELO ratings allow us to do is assign different K-values (a modifier that says how much a team's ranking increases/decreases) to different tournaments - for instance, "regular" sets could have K-values of 32, while "novice" sets could have K-values of 16.

While I'm at it, one thing I'd love to see is NAQT using the "expected long run" model (or some variant of the "Monte Carlo" model) on the HSNCT prelim statistics to seed teams for the HSNCT playoffs, rather than their current use of PP20H that does not take schedule strength into account. I don't know exactly how feasible this is, though.

Just dropping in to let the world of quizbowl know that Ladue is the real thing and should be around the top 20, and lots of other teams from Missouri are suddenly quite strong and worth worrying about if you find your team opposing them in a game. This is quite an exciting development in our traditionally weak state.

Barring the discovery of recently-unpublished statistics, I now have all known data from IS-96 processed (with the usual caveats - powers, 10s, negs, bonus points per bonus controlled all kept, nothing wacky like worksheets). Attached find the (hopefully final) IS-96 "expected long run" stats. I also fixed the error in the Monte Carlo simulation score output, but the Excel file is too big to upload.

Discuss, debate, whatever it is you people do with these rankings. I just make 'em.

Centennial actually beat Dorman 560-110 in the final round at Chattahoochee today. They have been seriously underestimated so far this year.

Previously, you had mentioned that, starting with these rankings, you would place greater weight on head-to-head results instead of relying almost exclusively on ppb as you did previously. Did you do this? If so, would you mind explaining your methodology further? When you're feeling more motivated, at least.

If I'm reading it right, it looks like you said Northmont was only one player strong at ADVANTAGE. If so, that is not accurate. They definitely had a full squad (I don't know if they were missing anyone). It was a different Ohio team, "Hamilton", that was one guy.

It might also be a typo; I thought I overheard something or other about Northmont being short one player on Saturday. Then again, I don't really know.

Here's the flaw I see with not taking into account actual games: Dorman moved up a spot in these rankings, from 6 to 5, after losing to both TJ B and Centennial. Obviously I think Dorman's still a top 10 team, but that just seems ridiculous. Also, I would have put Centennial ahead of us, if not also ahead of Dorman, after Centennial's performance at CATT.

I would like to congratulate Jackson High School on being the best high school quiz bowl team in America. I anticipate that both the NSC and the HSNCT will be canceled this year, as no team stands a chance of making up the 640 point per game difference between the Jackson squad and the second best team in quiz bowl, State College.

From what I know of the Northmont team, they were full strength at ADVANTAGE, and were missing one player at the Louisville tournament, playing Sam Blizzard (an 8th grader, albeit an incredibly talented 8th grader) in lieu of Michael Czupryn, their 2nd best player.

I'm playing around with some polls over on the blog. Give me feedback on if you think it's interesting/worthwhile/whatever.

St. Anselm's is way underrated again, Aidan in a really good player. Are you still not looking at head-to-head?

Guess I'm just underrating half of the teams in the top 50.

I've already made my statements about the importance of head-to-head; unfortunately, at this point in the season and the year, I don't have time to go back through every single tournament and track each team's face-offs with each of the 200 or so teams I have under consideration for the rankings.

Somewhat noteworthy: the site for this had 660 hits yesterday, which is the most ever.

As Fred alluded to, I bet you will be shocked when you realize just how much better lots of other regions of the country are this year outside of the mid-Atlantic. Maybe his ranking of St. Anselm's is a little off, but given the results that have been coming in this year it's certainly not an unreasonable ranking. I suspect a lot of people are going to succumb to the trap of assuming that a team that plays really well when you see them is automatically obviously top 15, 10, whatever, when really, there are tons of teams in other regions doing the same thing for their local observers.

No, the only HS tournament State College A has gone to was HFT, which they lost to LASA.

I'd love to see some more responses on these polls.

I have an idea that may be explored once the PACE format is announced.

Mr. Morlan, not that it's important, but I thought I should let you know that at our mirror of the Prison Bowl, Alpharetta was yet again without William, their best player. Just wanted to point this out in case you don't know of this when you put up a new set of rankings.
