Winter '17 / '18 - Regular Season Interim Standings: 1
Under the ‘two-thirds’ rule … forecasters who have entered at least TWO forecasts are included in the interim standings.
Complete interim statistics table and charts at the Contest/s web site here. (fixed)
Forecaster statistics for Winter '17 / '18 contest snow storms here.
---
SUMSQ errors for each contest snow storm are normalized with a 'Z-score' ... then averaged to compute the standings. If a forecaster has issued forecasts for more than two-thirds of all snow storm contests ... then Z-scores from their 'best two-thirds' forecasts are used to calculate the Interim and Final standings.
Same idea as dropping the lowest quiz score before computing the final grade.
