@JWW:
you must measure all meaningful rolls for the analysis to have any validity. Pulling one statistical category out from multiple sets really has little, if any, value.
Disagree. ERA measure pitcher success pretty well. Or batting average against. Batting average, or RBI’s per plate appearance, etc etc, take your pick, one statistic often has a LOT of value. So I disagree.
You’re biased, I’m biased. We’re all biased. You are stinging probably from my success at sinking the Italian fleet, and I am still irritated at getting hit 6 of 7 times with the Russians recently (just the latest dice travesty). It’s part of the game. Crunching the numbers and reviewing the game helps me see that it hasn’t been as bad as it feels. I apologize for the dice talk - I’m a stat head - I love numbers and I love to study them and yes, use them. Forgive me and thanks for your patience.

@JWW:
OK, another hard decision? perhaps my brain is simply fried from a crzay work day?? I hope this isn’t a mistake……
Don’t rush yourself! We have dozens of hours in this tournament already - would be a pity to blow it all on one hasty move :-)
-
By your logic, Batting Average has little, if any, value in measuring the success of a baseball player. Most people disagree with that. :-)
I disagree, you are not measuring batting average. A better analogy would be that you are measuring a players batting average w/two outs and runners on base. Not an entire picture of a batters skill at the plate. But we both digress…don’t we…let’s get to it and try to wrap this up.

yah, no worries, I really don’t care about luck one way or the other, it IS an integral part of the game and I am not biased w/respect to the dice. I could be getting very lucky! Perhaps I am…really doesn’t matter IMO. yeah I was just disagreeing w/your method of determining luck, perhaps an even touchier subject (yikes) than the dice outcome…anyways…

Kinda frazzled from all the Jr. High kids, but I’ll make it!
Are you a teacher??
I am now - second year teaching 6th - 12th in a private Christian school in my town, where my kids have always gone….
“Semi-retired” CPA after 14 years… (will be auditing local governments in the summers)
The kids are so enjoyable, but they wear you out fast!! If I had my way I’d teach Jr. High like 1-2 periods a day and high school the rest. I have been teaching local private and community college accounting and tax classes for the past 5 years or so… so some days I’m teaching 11 year olds and 50 year olds in the same day. :-)
