Not going to go into a bunch of detail, but from a wide-angle view, here are a few numbers on the season:
(wk,C,W,pct,45)
(1, 90, 31, '0.74', 54)
(2, 92, 27, '0.77', 72)
(3, 91, 30, '0.75', 60)
(4, 94, 30, '0.76', 59)
(5, 98, 21, '0.82', 58)
(6, 78, 26, '0.75', 49)
(7, 90, 22, '0.80', 56)
(8, 73, 17, '0.81', 45)
(9, 100, 12, '0.89', 63)
(10, 90, 21, '0.81', 52)
(11, 85, 8, '0.91', 49)

If my math is correct, the columns should represent the week, # the computer got correct, the # wrong, the percentage and the number of games ended in the 45 point rule.

Several people have questioned me on the 'balance' of districts because as you see, in the last three weeks of the season, they have been much more predictable. Unexpectedly, the percentage of 45-point games doesn't change much.

Here's that data as a percentage
1,0.60
2,0.78
3,0.66
4,0.63
5,0.59
6,0.63
7,0.62
8,0.62
9,0.63
10,0.58
11,0.58

As you can see, the number of 45-point games is roughly 60% all season (except for week 2 and 3 where it was a bit outside that range). The last two weeks of the season are actually BELOW the expected average.
 
Interesting to see the breakdown. Even for someone who got lost with logarithms.
Hasn't it been a trend for years now that the rankings get more accurate towards the end of the season?

That's the plan, that they get better (smarter) as they get more info...

To be honest, I was shocked at how consistent the 45 numbers were and how relatively low they were in the last three weeks. I would've expected they would rise.

Several factors could be in the works here when it comes to somewhat reduced numbers of 45-games:
1. weather keeping scores down
2. neighborly 'respect' (I am reaching here, but maybe) in district games
3. resting starters a bit more/getting reps for back-ups before playoffs
 
Could the decrease in 45 point games have been influenced by forfeits? Seemed to be an inordinate number of forfeits this year........... Just wondering.........
