時正三月,美國 NCAA 大學籃球正打到精采處;三十一個聯盟正各自展開季後賽,而每個聯盟的季後賽冠軍,都可獲得 NCAA 全國賽的參賽資格。
話說,全美大學男子籃球共有三百二十六支甲組隊伍,而全國賽只有六十五個席位。除卻了三十一個聯盟冠軍自動入選外,餘下的三十四席,是由 NCAA 委任出一個獨立委員會,經過開會商討後邀請的;邀請準則保密,但主要是根據各隊的整季成績,依據一個方程式計算出名為 RPI(Ratings Percentage Index)的指數,來比較各隊的強度。
美國的體育項目講求數字化,樣樣有統計,已儼然成為一門專門學問,甚至一盤生意。例如以上這個 RPI 指數,有人就自行成立網站,在每年球季開始後周周更新資料,提供各隊的最新 RPI;而到了季末,網主又先行預測六十五隊入選名單,準確度達百分之九十九!此君近年已成為了 RPI 專家,全職從事此門事業,又經常被邀請上體育節目,為 NCAA 分析形勢。
當然,他的網站是收費的,年費十五美元;其中一個經常訂戶就是小弟。連香港咁遠蠵都俾岏到,你話妗o唔發?
