Pre-event forecast

Fitted on the 10,072 team race matches sailed before 2023-05-20, using the line-ups that actually raced. It called 21 of 34 matches (62%) with a log-loss of 0.651 (a coin flip scores 0.693), so the event went poorly for the forecast. Orderliness −0.98 ± 0.38: an upset-heavy event, more orderly than 7% of high school team race events (temperature of the forecast log-odds that best fits the results, relative to the league average; nothing about the field, venue or wind predicts it, see the Weather tab). vs forecast is a team's wins minus the wins the model expected from the matches it sailed: positive means it beat its rating.

Surprisal: who beat their rating

Pre-event strength against the strength that would have made each record least surprising, everything else fixed. Δ is in the model's logit units, the same scale as the boat values above (a side is three boats plus the school term); green is a clear over-performance, red a clear under-performance. Skippers need three or more matches.
