I just thought I would give you a little insight into the TFC (Thanks For Coming) award this year. Previous years decisions have been made not only on performance, but on emotion too. THis has left a few of the recipients (well, only 1 actually) rather bleak, and as a result, this has been taken under consideration.
Thus, the introduction of NadoeStats. One of the functions of NadoeStats is to put forward a uniform calculation of the TFC and eliminate all emotion in the process. And so far, it has been a resounding success.
Let me expalin a little, all factors are considered in this statistical model. From the obvious, like bowling figures, runs scored, catches taken, catches dropped, run-out and sixes hit, to the obscure, like booziness, punctuality, general vibe of the day, contribution to sledging and so on.
The model is set up to give each of the players a daily score oftheir contribution to the day. Thus the TFC and Man of the Match can be calculated statistically, eliminating all bias.
A Score of 100% means you contributed in no way to the days events and ill probably result in TFC. While conversely,with regards to the MOM, the score you obtain is the overall percentage of the 'work' you achieved. Thus the higher the percentage, the more you did. a perfect score of 100% means you scored all the runs and took all the wickets. Get where this is going?
Statistically speaking, if everyone contributed in the same proportions, each player would recieve a score of 90.91% (1 - 100%/11) for TFC and 9.09%(100%/11) for MOM
And an important point to note, a score of over 100% for TFC is in fact possible. How you may ask? THis just means that the player has actually DETRACTED from the performance of the team. In other words it would have been better if he had stayed home. Exaples of this last year were: 101.2% Kenny, when he dropped 3 catches and scored a duck and Murray King (too many to list).
So I hope this clears it all up a bit.
