About

Hey, I'm Cody, and I enjoy ranking problems. The site has grown a bit from its humble beginning as a display/breakdown of the USAU algorithm results-- it now also supports a probabilistic bid allocation system (that works in conjunction with the USAU rankings) proposed in collaboration with Scott Dunham (aka Hallies_Dad). In the near future I hope to add other types of algorithms to see how they might fare in the context of ultimate (Glicko2, Bradley-Terry, TrueSkill, and a maybe throwback to RRI). Current features under construction include a connectivity viualization and a simulator for sample results. If there's anything you'd like to see or that you think might be helpful, let me know and I'll try to add it to the queue!
