New Feature: Advanced Standings using Probabilities
avatarken_admin (1546 posts)  8/29 10:04 AM

Along with our previous standings, you can also view a new "Advanced Standings".  These standings will use the probability that you'll beat another team to determine what percent of 1 point you receive.  For example, previously, if you had higher points than a team, you would receive 1 point.  Now, we calculate the probability you'll beat that team so say 70%.  In this case, you receive 0.7 points, and the other team receives 0.3 points.

For now, this is available under Analysis Monster and Trade Monster.  In the next week or two, this will be added to the Draft Tracker after we get some feedback.  Also, we consider this "beta" since tweaks will likely be made over the next couple of weeks.

When you check "NEW: Show Advanced Standings (beta)", you will see a second set of columns for the Advanced numbers.  This applies to Roto Standings and H2H Standings.

If you have any questions or feedback, please post those here.

do you use a normal distribution assumption?

Yes, we're using normal distributions along with stdev to determine the probabilities.  This is calculated for each player so your rosters will affect the probability range.
