Individual Rankings, Records, and Stats

CincyBowling Individual Rankings provide a broader look at a bowler's season than average alone. Rankings combine verified regular-season, conference, tournament and postseason performance while also considering the amount of competition recorded for each bowler.

How the Individual Rankings Work

Every verified individual game contributes to the ranking. Games are weighted based on the type and level of competition. Conference and tournament games receive additional influence, while postseason competition receives the greatest weight.

1.0× Regular Non-Conference

Regular-season games outside conference competition establish the foundation of a bowler's season.

1.2× Conference

Conference matches receive additional influence because they directly reflect performance against a team's regular league or conference competition.

1.2× Tournaments

Tournament games receive additional influence because they often involve larger fields and competition outside a bowler's normal schedule.

1.4× Postseason

Sectional, District and State competition receives the greatest influence in the weighted performance calculation.

What does weighting mean?

The multipliers do not add bonus pins to a bowler's actual score or traditional season average. Instead, they determine how strongly each game influences the weighted performance used by the CincyBowling Individual Rating.

For example, a 220 game during conference or tournament competition has more influence on the weighted calculation than a 220 game during a regular non-conference match. Postseason competition carries the greatest influence.

Example: Alex Taylor

Why does the number of games matter?

CincyBowling also uses a reliability factor. This helps prevent a bowler with only a small number of recorded games from automatically outranking someone who has demonstrated similar performance across a much larger sample.

As more weighted games are recorded, the reliability factor increases. Once the full weighted-game threshold is reached, the reliability factor becomes 1.000 and no longer reduces the bowler's rating.

What are First 5 and Last 10?

The expanded player statistics also show a season trend. First 5 Average uses the bowler's first five recorded individual games, while Last 10 Average uses the final ten recorded individual games.

The difference provides a simple look at how scoring changed over the course of the season. When fewer than five or ten games are available, the rankings show the actual number of games used.

The CincyBowling Individual Rating is intended to supplement traditional statistics such as average, high game and series — not replace them.
