what does it mean pythagorean record?


The pythagorean record is calculated for different sports by using the same formula:

win% = (points for)^n/[(points for)^n+(points against)^n]

where n is different for baseball, basketball, and (American) football. For baseball the exponent is 2, and for football the exponent is 2.4. The most widely accepted exponent I've seen for basketball is 14; however, the one in this program appears to use 10.


You are correct, I use 10. I didn't do any analysis beyond eyeballing the results when I played around with the exponents. 10 seemed to be the most reasonable whole number. If anyone feels like doing the analysis to get the "right" exponent for BB, feel free.

Since we're at the end of another season, thought I'd repost this. I've been using it a lot over the last day.

Just wanted to quickly publicize a new tool I've made live:

(http://bbtools.oeuftete.com/bbtools/winners)

It shows the league winners for a given country, league level, and season. It works "live", so for example if you wanted a quick overview of all the winners in III for your country, you could select your country, level 3, season 10, and it would show you the winners for the completed series, and "unknown" for those not yet done.

It's still pretty rough, but I thought I'd mention it in case people might find it useful as the season comes to an end.

My once a season reminder... easy way to check the league winners in your country.

There seems to be a problem with the server since (at least) sunday. The following error is displayed: 500 - Internal Server Error

Thanks, I discovered that myself... I only check Global very rarely, so anyone feel free to send me a BB-mail if there are problems.

I think it is designed to do that for the forums on purpose.

Nice tool, too bad there are is still some incorrect html in there which show bold tag at the result.. instead of actually having bold tekst.. Somehow this does show up correct in the forum but not on the actual page..

If you replace it with <> tags I think it should workout better


Yes, it's that way by design.

BTW, as I mentioned above, if you have any feedback, please send BB-mail directly. I wade into the Global cesspool very rarely.
