HFA, again

Post by wolfe »

Given the choice of reducing the HFA to 7 points or keeping it at 10 points per game, what are everyone's preferences now?

This is, of course, a precursor to another official vote.

Interesting. I haven't looked at this in a while.

season,total_score
1998 215.143
1999 262.64
2000 274.181
2001 276.447
2002 299.319
2003 318.328

Weird. Scores have been increasing every year. Which means HFA is less and less of a factor. Take it for what it is worth.

(Scores are for MTFFL I, but MTFFL II reflect a similar trend)

Me again!

My bad. I just analyzed my methods. The numbers were obtained by using the formula:
(sum(home_score)+sum(away_score))/(88)
Where 88 is the (14 regular season weeks * 6 games) + (2 post season weeks * 2 games).
I forgot that we added games for everyone in the post season last year. The correct number for 2003 is 291.801 (for MTFFL I; 291.628 for MTFFL II)
The rules are fair. The regulations are fair.

What are everyone's? What is everyone's? Where's the zero option?
You better get on your knees and pray...Sheffield and Gainesboro are on the way.
