All Match Results

All contest matches - final votes and percentages, sortable and filterable by entrant or contest.

Oracle PAA

Points Above Average from the Oracle Challenge - how far each predictor’s match score sat above the field average.

• Average PAA standings - best per-match rate
• Lifetime PAA standings - career total

Site Feature Notes

• Each poll-update graph has a Smoothing control (all updates / 1 min / 5 min / 15 min) for the noisier matches. You can also set any interval by hand with &seconds=N in the URL (e.g. &seconds=3600 for hourly).
• A copy of the original site is kept as an archive. Login - stats:stats

X-Stat Tools

Generalized x-stats esimators - input strength values and get estimates of how the match would go:

• Linear formula
• Morgoth's formula
• Linear X-Stat Calculator

Here is an Excel spreadsheet where you can use Excel Solver to generate X-Stat values for matches with up to 6 characters, based on the actual match results:

• Morgoth's X-Stats
• The instructions on how to use it are located in a worksheet within the spreadsheet.
• The explanation for the theory that this is based on: Morgoth's Theory

User NGamer has created a website for x-stats.

User RPGuy96 has created an Extrapolated Standings Calculator - a downloadable tool that can be used to estimate the results of hypothetical match-ups based on past data. To use it, you will need the Java Runtime Environment.
