BuzzerBeater Forums

That happened to me until I got the update which is found on the main screen on point number 2. Click the word "here". After I updated it worked fine.

Thanx! i had the same problem too, but this solved the problem :)

Question:
If we go to, Roster, pick a player, and then we click on Share this player.
These are the players that help the project, or those player are all that have training during the week?

Share the player just creates a link to that player that anyone can see. By default only the owner of a player can see them. Just a way to facilitate discussion of players, and you can use it with any player. Every player on your roster is being included in the data side of the project, so you don't have to explicitly share them to include them. Does that answer your question?

Does that answer your question?

Very clear!
Thanxs!

My apologies for being delinquent in adding new things to this. I've been planning to release the trainer level one for a while, but I've been waiting in hopes that the data would improve. Alas, even with close to 500 users across the US and non-US sites, well over 5000 weeks of data and 10,000 pops, the numbers are still messy. So, I'm releasing it anyway, and trusting you all to take it with many grains of salt!

If you log in to the site (http://bb-training.comuf.com/club/) and go to the analysis page, you'll see "Trainer level analysis" as an option.

I've allowed you to select the age range of players to include. There's a trade-off here, of course-- the smaller the range you set, the more consistent the data will be, but the less of it will be included. But, it's a useful experiment to play with it a bit to see how consistent the results are depending on the input data.

Part of the reason for doing this is that the results, especially for level 6 & 7 trainers, is really bizarre. Level 6 is almost always slightly *slower* than level 5. And level 7 almost always looks like a bigger effect than common sense suggests. I strongly suggest expanding the "raw data" tab and looking at the actual rates being used to generate the plot. Especially for level 7, you'll see that there's a very small number of data points, so you may want to mentally exclude those. It's also useful to see that even with what seem like large samples, the data can still be funny (for PG Pressure training, which is by far the most common, level 6 has produced pops at an almost 5% lower rate, despite having >300 weeks of data for each for just 18-20yo's).

So, take a look (as long as you've contributed at least 4 weeks of data) and draw your own conclusions!

Level 6 is almost always slightly *slower* than level 5.

Bwhahahahahaha

- L5 or less trainer owner

Ha.

Lest I be misinterpreted, let me make clear that I don't *believe* this result. In fact, the error bars show a pretty big range of possible values, including values where (as we assume the true value is, given our belief in competent, non-malevolent, BB's!) it's slightly faster than level 5. What I'm saying is that *we can't tell* what the real difference is.

But I think it's safe to assume that if we can't tell how much of an advantage it is (or whether it's an advantage at all) with this much data, the effect is likely to be pretty small.

Just an idea i had, if it's worth having or not is up to you. what about having a page with a list of the users that are contributing and how much they have contributed in entry's.

sort of like you have it at the top with

whitemaggot (team 196160, Australia div 3, 39 entries)

but with all the contributing users on the same page.

I am shocked by thre rezults, hadnt even in my dreams expected this...

good job btw, very valuable data.

hadnt even in my dreams expected this...

I thought I was the only one that dreamed about BuzzerBeater. I once beat LMA by 250 -13 to win BBB.

Its natural to dream about buzzerbeater, since is a part of our lives and makes some feelings, especially if you spend time setting lineup or analyzing oponents last minutes before the bed:D

My most weird dream was i went bancrupt because my stadiums roof falled on the audience and they all died
