2012 BRFL Draft Analysis






Three weeks in, there is some crazy symmetry happenin' in the standings. The last two in the draft are the first two in the standings. The first two pickers are the last two in the standings. The top 4 all picked in teh bottom half of the draft. It's like birth order. The last born are vastly superior. The first born are a great disappointment. Then we have the Jan Bradys of the League. These middle children - picks 4, 5, 6, 7,-  are  5, 6, 7, 8 in the standings, failing to distinguish themselves in any meaningful way.How did you do? If your variance is negative, you have underperformed in the draft. Positive, and you're a draft guru. Draft order seems to have an inverse correlation to performance.


Draft Week 3 Variance
SkHank 12 1 11
Randvagitis 13 2 11
Q-spot 8 3 5
Timmer 9 4 5
Syph-Ahoy 6 5 1
Seadouche 7 6 1
Commish 5 7 -2
D.Po 4 8 -4
Pube-fro 3 9 -6
Sock 11 10 1
McLovin 10 11 -1
Clemstain 2 12 -10
Scrote 1 13 -12


Pictures? Picture. If your ass is above the red line, you done good. Below it, not so much.

  1. Holy Fucking Shit !! Variance talk, performance metrics, "inverse correlation" recognition and exposure , symmetry references .... AND a graph !!!
    DPo continues to WOW the league with his unparralleled genius.
    I am not ashamed to say I am excited, a little too much.

  2. Someone has a little bit too much time on his hands eh? It is very obvious that you've been man-crushing on Malcolm Gladwell and Jonah Keri and the rest of the wavy haired "quants". Look what you've to TSP.. priapism hurts.. poor fella.
