Do Rankings Work?

Before the tournament there was analysis on rankings, and Bask has done a quick spreadsheet comparing it to final position.  It turns out there was a 70% correlation – so does that mean BB is 70% skill and 30% luck?  Probably not.

  • Highest outperformer: Polenta e Cannonau!

Awards for being exactly predicted:

Discepoli del Signore della Notte 748 152 152 0
Hell-O-Wien 914 98 98 0
Socks’ 1 879 124 124 0

Put in a scatter diagram, looks a bit like this:
