Contest Metrics - Billabong Pro Tahiti 2017

Last updated July 28, 2017 by Balyn McDonald

Tahiti now has the unenviable task of following a truly epic J-Bay contest; one that provided a spectacle for fans and managed to raise many surfers’ AHS for 2017.

Mind you, Tahiti can wow fans with the best of them. The success of this contest will depend on the conditions, just like your fantasy team. Let’s see who has the upper hand…

 

All projections and stats are taken from 2014-2017 WSL contest data.

Some 2017 rookies include data from previous WSL events, but many do not have relevant results in significant categories, including data for this particular venue. Their modelling is much less reliable and they may have skewed projections due to their averages being heavily influenced by a small sample size.

We have included extra details in our FS table, including price changes and season points data.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, don’t rely on our projections alone; we suggest that you check the forecast, sort through the particular conditions data that you deem most relevant and pick out a team that you feel matches.

*Wildcards have been added and data/projections have been adjusted. Our modelling has also been adjusted slightly to reflect the forecast conditions.

 

Full Data and Projections

Key:
Proj AHS = projected average heat score for event, based on our magic algorithm,
AET = average event total (WSL game points) for event,
EAHS = event average heat score,
Fiji AHS = AHS for 2017 Fiji contest (in similar conditions),
2017 AHS = 2017 season average heat score,
ALL AHS = career average heat score (using 2014-17 seasons),
1-4' = heat average in waves of 1-4' size,
4-6' = heat average in waves of 4-6' size,
6-8' = heat average in waves of 6-8' size,
8-10'+ = heat average in waves of 8-10'+ size,
Reefs= average heat score in conditions offering reef break waves,
Lefts = average heat score in conditions offering left-hander waves,
Proj Score= total projected score for the event (WSL game) based on Proj AHS x estimated heat wins.
