Understanding Our Field Analysis

Our field analysis uses a proprietary methodology that combines observed cashed players with series-level data to extrapolate the complete tournament field composition.

For this tournament, we have data on 15% of the field (players who cashed). We use this data, along with series trends and buy-in level characteristics, to model the likely skill distribution of the entire field.

Field Softness ranges from 0 to 1, with higher values indicating softer fields. Tournaments with softness above 0.6 offer excellent value, those between 0.5-0.6 are average, and those below 0.5 are considered tough fields.

Skill Gap measures the ratio between top and bottom quartile players, indicating how wide the skill disparity is within the field.

Our ROI Confidence rating of 69% indicates our level of certainty in the extrapolated metrics. Higher confidence comes from larger sample sizes and more complete data.

These ROI projections are calculated using our extrapolated field model and analysis of payout structures. ROI is shown both as a dollar amount and as a percentage of buy-in.

Edge Multipliers quantify how much advantage each skill tier has over the average player in this specific tournament. A multiplier of 1.0 represents break-even against the average field, while values above 1.0 indicate an advantage.

Our system takes into consideration

  1. Field softness:The overall skill level of the tournament field.
  2. Payout Variance:To determine how shallow the tournament structure is. Ie: high variance in payout = less skill advantage
  3. Distribution of bad players:The most complex part. Mimics natural tournament psychology. Common edge cases: Many bad players then the edge multiplier is lower to mimic less aggresive isolation plays. A few bad players then all stronger players have a higher edge multiplier against weaker players to mimic scarcity. No bad players then super strong players have more edge versus medium strength players to mimic advanced play.
