Week 3: The System +6.0, the closing line +9.6, Elo +45.0
baba led the players with +74.6. Every forecaster scored as a player on its closing numbers. The market beat The System this week.
Scoring is the game's own: 25 minus the square of the miss over 100, per game. A forecaster that says 70% and is right earns 16; wrong, it loses 24. Over a 16-game week the spread between the best and worst forecaster is usually 20 to 40 points, and it is mostly variance; the season total is what separates them.
Over 27 replayed seasons the closing line averaged 997 points a season, The System 1,011, Elo 892. One week says little; the season scoreboard on the leaderboard is the running answer.
