 Re: Please explain the RPI
Ok, That makes sense. But, Shouldn't Statistically worse wins carry more weight than statistically worse losses. A win is still a win. Despite the fact that the competition is weaker, Wins should be worth more.
I get that Wrestler B has 3 more statistically better wins, but shouldn't the 3 startistically worse losses weigh more?
This example is weird because it uses fixed data where everyone wrestles everyone else. I know it isn't like that in the real world. Thanks ISU for putting the numbers and formulas there so we can see it. It makes way more sense.
I just can't get my brain around the fact that technically, you could get pinned 3 times (whether it is a fluke or not) by guys with losing records, and still have the same RPI as the fourth best guy who lost squeakers to the three best.
If it were only a word problem.....sigh
