bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted May 31, 2014 Even with rolling averages, if your scores go up your average will too! Surely it depends on what is dropping off at the other end of the scores, i.e. what the sum of the set is? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,907 Posted May 31, 2014 Surely it depends on what is dropping off at the other end of the scores, i.e. what the sum of the set is? At the same time, if your scores have gone up it's irrelevant what is being dropped off, as they must be lower than what's being scored now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted June 1, 2014 At the same time, if your scores have gone up it's irrelevant what is being dropped off, as they must be lower than what's being scored now. Here's an illustration (I'm not sure how many drop off, or how many come in, but it should explain the point): 4 scores drop off of 8, 7, 7, 6 = 28 Scores in the middle are not as good Form starts to pick up 4 latest scores come in of 6, 6, 7, 8 = 27 So, recent results are improving (based on everything in between), but the rolling average would still drop. Â It's the sum of the set of scores that are crucial. Â Another way to think of it. Plot the scores on a bar chart. If the scores are a smiley shape with a slight grin to the left, then the rolling average will decrease; if it has a grin to the right, it will increase. Â Sunday morning! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â I think Sarah made the original point that his scores were improving recently, no reference to his average.
