The TAZD and baseball-style standings are explained on my Wall. At least 35 regular games played in the month are require to qualify for the monthly TAZD. Shown are Games Behind, TAZD, and player name.

at 11:11 AM, Friday December 2, 2011 EST If I get a 1st place in KDice on the 1st of the month it will never revert back to 0% either. What's the difference?

at 11:16 AM, Friday December 2, 2011 EST skrum, the zero datum is not 0-16 in american football. you stated that you averaged the bottom 100 accts to acquire the zero datum. so in the nfl, you would average the bottom handful of records. over the past several years, the average of the bottom 3 records comes to around 3-13.

at 11:30 AM, Friday December 2, 2011 EST Also keep in mind that you still have a TAZD score whether you're in the top 100 or not. skrum only counts those for two reasons:
1 - if he only does the top 100, then all the bad players with awesome TAZD scores won't show up (ie he artificially eliminates most of the people that show how poor a measure of skill this is) 2 - it would be way too much work to do it for everyone, and not as interesting from the perspective of attempting to rank the top players apart from dom and tourney points. |

at 11:35 AM, Friday December 2, 2011 EST Also, to make the football analogy even closer to kdice, it's more like the standard deviation is 50% wins / 50% losses.
As they win/lose, those percentages change, just as they do in kdice. No one can "take the wins away" in either kdice or football; in both the percentages changes accordingly. Similar to how you computed the TAZD baseline for kdice, you'd need to take the average football team for the baseline, which is 8-8. (assuming regular season only, example holds with playoffs as well.) You can't use different methods for the baseline just to attempt to 'win' the argument. |

at 11:38 AM, Friday December 2, 2011 EST wouldnt 8-8 be the baseline for the TAPL score, whereas the TAZD zero datum would be 3-13?

Which is exactly the same as kdice. I don't care how long you want to make the 'season,', two players with the same number of games should be ranked according to who played better, not who deviated more. |

at 11:41 AM, Friday December 2, 2011 EST And even if the zero datum was 3-13, the Colts (0-16) would still have a better TAZD than a team with a 5-13 record.
Sure, that makes the situation _better_, but still obviously wrong. |
