MATCH PREVIEW CARDS

Key Metrics and What they Mean

Excitement Index and Excitement Average: The primary use for these metrics is in determining how exciting a match is, either in real time or after the fact. They also tell us how close the games of a match are, creating predictive value.

Clutch Factor: A combination of leverage and the winner for each point. Essentially, it is the player’s “score” for the match. While a useful tool for a single match or tournament, it does tend to regress to the mean.

Serve and Return Excitement Average:

These metrics divide Excitement Average between a player's serve and return games. It helps to describe the flow of a match. Over time, they help to evaluate a player's ability and have strong predictive value.

CFOE Rating: A player's Clutch Factor, adjusted to the expectation for the point. This isolates conditions from performance for evaluation.
