PDGA Ratings Breakdown

[Miller]

I see what you mean. You're saying that the mean/median/mode are not in the middle of the class (875). I was looking at it from the point of view of the relation between the mean and the median. Since those two values are close to each other that means you have a nice bell curve, it's just centered a little higher.

PS I'll be teaching my Stats review class again... JK

Speaking of ratings, they are actually out a day early. They didn't include the most recent birdshot tourney though...Congrats/Condolences CJ you're now in the 800's.

It only includes tournaments from 2008. I reached my goal so I am fairly happy.

Actually the last three updates have all been a day early.

I think they plan on it that way so they will get a pat on the back and make everyone happy. I think if you add up how many days late they have been and subtract the early updates they are still way behind.

Heck sometimes it would be a week or two late.

are they still using WCP?

WCP was a bit before my time, but the way I understand it WCP has evolved into the current SSA system. So you probably won't find references to "WCP" in any current PDGA documentation except in historical context.

WCP was basically an avg (median would work too) of an estimated SSA on a course. SSA varies round to round but WCP is a good way to guess at a 1000 rated round.

It seems like the WCP is lower than what new SSA's are showing

Depends on what course you are looking at and WCP is under normal conditions.
