Game Day 1 - Live Scores and Ladders

Interestingly, using the AFL's mathematics New Zealand didn't get a point kicked against them and their percentage should be 100% but 132 points (for) divide by 0 points (against) x 100 = 0%.

Maybe the %ages should be worked out using the SANFL method then you don't get these ridiculous 1230 % and 2932 % figures and certainly don't get 0% when you win without having a point kicked against you.

Proper mathematical method for working out a Percentage is

Points for divided by total points for and against X 100.

New Zealand maths is 132 / 132 x 100 = 100%

Ireland is 148 / 152 x 100 = 96.1%

A little bit of common sense required I reckon

Almost, but using the AFL's maths (Victorian style percentage), the NZ percentage isn't zero, it's undefined (as no one besides maybe Chuck Norris can divide by 0).

You're correct in that the South Australian percentage might look better in this case.

However, as most people are used to reading the AFL/Victorian traditional percentages, it could also be a bit confusing.

It'll come out the same result though, just looks unwiedly on paper with blowouts.

Howdy All.

WFN Ranks at the conclusion of IC11 seeding rounds look like this

Australia
PNG 53.89 25
NZ 53.84 29
Ireland 49.31 33
Nauru 47.50 15
USA 46.95 31
Sth Africa 45.46 18
Denmark 42.97 37
Samoa 41.85 18
GB 41.40 39
Canada 39.60 31
Sweden 39.06 20
Germany 37.37 10
Japan 35.76 20
Finland 29.02 12

Only change in Ranks South Africa and Denmark have swapped places.

Provisional teams look like this

Tonga 41.57 5
Croatia 40.61 4
Israel/Palestine 37.87 7
Timor Leste 37.75 2
Fiji 37.12 2
Iceland 35.64 4
France 35.43 3
China 33.70 7
India 28.33 7
Spain 28.00 Dormant

Please note last number is the number of games played.

Looks like a great series of matches on the day, only one 100+ point win and a couple of close ones as well, and only Peace Team not to register a score in their matches.

Did you use a weighting of 1 for these matches Cam, as discussed a while back, since they are shortened matches (normal IC matches weight by 2)?

Howdy Brett.

Yes, no IC Bonus for these matches as they were very shortened games.

Was going to mention that, but hit Submit Comment too quickly. Also Timor Leste didn't manage to register a score.

Interesting to see how the countries will be ranked for next round, toss up between Peace Team and Timor Leste who will be ranked 15th or 16th?????

I've figured it NZ, Canada and Great Britain in Pool 1.

PNG, Denmark and Sweden in 2.

Sth Africa, Nauru and Tonga in 3.

Ireland, USA and Japan in 4.

Could be wrong tho'
