Statistical Analysis Payout Structure - Admin - 06-13-2017
Statistical Analysis articles will be graded on two criteria: the analysis itself (i.e., taking piles of numbers and making sense out of it), and the discussion of the stats (i.e., applying your analysis to the league and making it easier to understand. It could be comparing different teams, players, positions, etc. based on your data.)
The analysis will be graded on effort and the coolness and relevance of the stat. Don't overthink this - it's just how good the stats are.
5 - $2,500,000
4 - $2,000,000
3 - $1,400,000
2 - $1,100,000
1 - $600,000
0 - $100,000
A grade of 0 will only be prescribed if the author has made no attempt to crunch the numbers in an interesting or meaningful way. Most articles will be 3s or 4s, but several people are easily capable of creating 5s.
The discussion will be graded on effort and how successful the author is at applying the stats, making comparisons, and bringing the numbers down to the level of the reader. Don't overthink this either - it's how well you use the data.
5 - $1,000,000
4 - $900,000
3 - $650,000
2 - $400,000
1 - $250,000
0 - $0
A grade of 0 will only be prescribed if the author has not discussed the data at all, for example, posting just a spreadsheet. Most articles fall in the 3-4 range as well.
The total pay will be calculated by summing the discussion and analysis grades. Additional bonuses will be added at the grader's discretion.
