Anna Powell-Smith (@darkgreener on Twitter) kindly let me (Mark Longair - @mhl20) adapt her D3.js code from The Story of the Season to display this data that I have been collecting on the Great British Bake Off for 2016 and 2017. Many thanks to her - any bugs you see have almost certainly been introduced by me.
There are two scoring systems I'm using here:
"Technical" and "Subjective". Here is some explanation
of these:
- Technical: purely based on the
position in which people come in the technical
challenge, accumlated over all weeks so far. The person
who comes first in the technical gets 12 points, the
person who is second gets 11, etc. These are summed,
week on week, so if someone's in position 1 for multiple
weeks, it doesn't mean they came first in the technical
in every one of those weeks, just that the total of their
technical scores in all weeks so far had been higher
than anyone else's.
- Subjective: these scores also
include my subjective scores for the signature and
showstopper challenges, based on what Paul and Mary/Prue
said about them. Again, these are cumulative, but I've
also applied a decay to the older scores before they're
incorporated into the sum (basically scores have a half
life of 5 weeks). This is to take account of the fact
that people's performance really does change over the
course of the competition, so I think it makes sense to
discount the early rounds somewhat.
