LVT Pressure Factor
Posted: August 4th, 2022, 5:19 am
I've developed an algorithm that combines the player's WGR, their position on the leaderboard going into the final round, and a factor that you can set.
The higher on the leaderboard, the more pressure, the higher the player WGR, the the "lower the pressure...they handle it better" and a factor you can set from 0 to 10 where 10 is the most pressure packed.
Right now if a high WGR person is in the top part of the leaderboard, and you set the factor to 10, I have it possibly adding about 3 strokes to the player's score. If a lower WGR person is at the top part of the leaderboard, then it would probably add more strokes. If the top WGR person is further down the leaderboard, it would also lessen the pressure and lessen additional strokes. If the factor were less, then there is less pressure all around and less chance of additional strokes. A factor of zero will only use the course and round difficulty settings to modify the score.
So say we're at The Masters final round, and Jon Rahm is towards the top of the leaderboard. You set the factor to 10. His score will probably be 3 strokes higher than if there were no pressure. Remember, course and round settings already may impact a player's score as well.
Does 3 shots sound good as I explained, or should it be 4 or 5 for the top WGR at the top of the leaderboard with a max factor of 10?
3 shots is not guaranteed. It depends on a random number against the algorithm value that is calculated.
Also finished the ability to update the rosters each season. It is complex and I will create a video instruction for it.
