Interim Standings

Plenty-o-new faces in the latest Interim Summary with four more forecasters eligible for ranking.

After six snow storms... donsutherland1 retains his lead... anthony appears out of nowhere into second...a mere 0.0004 points ahead of shanabe...who slips to third.

Under the ‘two-thirds’ rule…forecasters who have entered at least four forecasts are included in this interim summary.

Forecaster storm summary data here.

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 two-thirds of their best forecasts are used to calculate Interim and Final standings. Same idea as dropping the lowest quiz score before the final grade is computed.
