📢In collaboration with @Disc_Golf_Doug, I am excited to share a new predictive model for disc golf, the Competitive Disc Golf Simulation Model (C-DGSM)! 📈Check out our methods infographic. 🔮C-DGSM's first predictions will be posted tomorrow for the LWS Open at Idlewild.

Replying to @UDiscApp
@UDiscApp roughly 10,000 match play rounds will be scored from October to April for New England Team Challenge. 70 teams and 1,750 players will play at least one match per month. Please add match play scoring. If you build it, they will come.

Is @PDGA membership this conservative? Or do the anti-trans survey results reflect some response bias towards the more conservative members? Calling on the PDGA to assess response rates by state or other demographics to assess whether the survey is representative of membership.

Selection bias may be the more appropriate term, rather than response bias. Conservative voices seemed far more keen to take and share the survey relative to progressive voices.

For FPO players sitting outside the top 50 in @DiscGolfProTour points, here are your chances at GMC playoff spot based on points at season's end: 130 points: 2% chance 135 points: 34% chance 140 points: 87% chance 145 points: 98% chance @statmando

For MPO players sitting outside the top 100 in @DiscGolfProTour points, a final season points total exceeding 41.5 gives you a 52% chance of clinching a GMC playoff spot. 44.75+ points: 75% chance 46.13+ points: 90% chance 49+ points: 99% chance @statmando

🔮Who will qualify for the @DiscGolfProTour Championship? 📊Using my Disc Golf Simulation Model, we simulated 1,000 season-end scenarios to assess the probabilities of Tour Championship qualification for every FPO competitor. @golden_eagle08 @ObscureSports @statmando (1/4)

Statistical model likes Kristin Tattar's odds to jump from her current #6 spot (quarterfinal bye) into the third spot (semi-final bye). Valerie Mandujano and Ohn Scoggins will also look to secure one of four semi-final byes (70% and 37% likelihood, respectively). (2/4)

🥏Chandler Kramer (-19) sits in 3rd place heading into the final day at the European Open. Disc Golf Simulation Model pre-tournament predictions: Kramer was more likely to miss the cut (7.34% chance) than to make final day lead card (2.89%). DGSM is powered by @statmando data.

Calculated.
A skip on the pond and safe on the green, it's all coming up McBeth in round 1 @OpenDiscGolf.

Cool stuff from @Disc_Golf_Doug. Predicts players’ scores for each hole of the European Open based on their recent performance on similar holes (eg short wooded Par 3s, long open Par 4s).
Time for a European Major again! Ricky has the best chance of winning, but there are a lot of other players who have the skill and experience to challenge. Paul will be fighting to get his 5th European Open Major win.

🦅Eagle McMahon is back for the European Open! 📊 Eagle is elite on open and mixed holes (ranked #3 & #1). He is the 40th-ranked player in the woods, losing an average of 0.057 strokes per hole to competitors. 🧮 @Disc_Golf_Doug stats co-lead 💾 Hole scores: @statmando 📸 @PDGA

Data are from 396 holes played by Eagle McMahon at ES/M events from 2021-2022. We are in the process of expanding the dataset to include all ES/SS/M events in 2021 and 2022.

📊Ricky Wysocki (@sockibomb13) is your favorite for the 2022 European Open! He is modeled as the winner in 24.8% of the 10,000 simulations. 🇪🇺 Europeans have a 14.5% chance to win! ‼️Model is unaware of Eagle McMahon's shoulder injury. 💾Historical ratings data from @statmando
