Interim Standings
There have been six Contests to date. Under the ‘two-thirds’ rule…forecasters who have entered at least four forecasts are included in this interim summary.
Donsutherland1 remains in 1st place with a best '4-out-of-6' average SUMSQ Error Z-score of -1.214.
2nd Place: Shanabe (-0.928)
3rd Place: TQ (-0.731)
Complete data table @ the Contest web site.
SUMSQ errors for each contest snow storm are normalized with a 'Z-score'...then averaged to compute the standings. Forecasters who have entered at least 2/3 of all snow storm contests are included in the standings.
If a forecaster has participated in more than two-thirds of all snow storm contests...then Z-scores from their 'best two-thirds' forecasts are used to calculate interim and final standings. Same idea as dropping the lowest quiz score before the final grade is computed.
