For the past five months, we’ve been meticulously developing a ranking system for the Player of the Year. This system is open to everyone. Axe throwers from any organization are welcome to submit their results. Our unique formula uses this information to rank players based solely on head-to-head tournament outcomes. We then fed these statistics into our AI platform Dazzling Machine of Absurdity and Comedy (DMAC for short) to generate predictions for the 2023 IATC champion.
We ran into some hurdles, like Vin Crescenzo having a very high overall rating, but a somewhat lower Green Rating due to his focus on WATL tournaments and lower participation rate in IATF. This caused a few comparison issues in the later rounds. Some players were so similar, that we used outside data to determine a winner. Along with that, there were a lot of players with no rating in our system, or a lot of players with very few games. We supplemented our data with Round 1 seeding stats and season averages.
One thing is certain: seeding will significantly shape the players’ journeys to the finals. With such an expansive bracket, a few unexpected upsets in the first round could make the entire competition resemble a random seeding event. Numerous top-notch throwers may be projected quite low due to an unfortunate draw, while others are poised to sail into day 2, provided they maintain their average performance. The unpredictability of the tournament is part of its charm, and keeps everyone on their toes.
You can find the final results of our AI-driven predictions listed below. For a detailed understanding of the championship trajectory, the complete bracket can be viewed here on Challonge.
