NJPW Super J ’09 Finals

Lost my enthuasim for this, but anyway. Instead of using only win percentage, I’m using 3 parts win percentage and 1 part strength of victory. Name Finals Winner Kanemoto 50.9% 25.8% Devitt 50.5% 25.3% Ibushi 49.5% 24.6% Aoki 49.1% 24.3% I don’t really know, but I think that order is about right. Back to not [...]

NJPW Super J ’09 reloaded

I fixed this, but didn’t post it. Since I’m waiting for a midnight delivery – it’s on the up and up, I swear – might as well paste this and then go incoherent. Block A Name 1st 2nd Adv Avg Mode Tiger Mask (6) 83.3% 14.1% 97.4% 9.08 10 Jado (11) Black Tiger (13) Milano [...]

NJPW SJ ’09 (06/09)

Haven’t had any time to work on this since, and may or may not the next 24 hours. Plenty of other stuff to do, and I love to leave projects half finished. Though I did spend 20 minutes laying in bed thinking of a better way to compute chances of winning (3/4 your win percentage [...]

NJPW Super Juniors Playoff Odds Report (06/08)

This is as 0f NJPW Super Junior’s 06/08/09 matches, so it’s good for like 3 more hours. Block A Name [...]

Chiefs @ Cougars, 06/07

Not driving to Des Moines kinda worked out: Rich Harden scratched from Iowa rehab start. If I got there and found that out, I think I might’ve just resumed driving west until I sank into the Pacific. Instead of driving 4.5 hours, I drove about 10 minutes down the road and saw a different Cubs [...]
