April 14, 2014

I introduced the Payoff Matrix concept last October and showed results for six years of the La Jolla unit game based on the output generated by the Payoff Matrix software. Here I present similar results for the 2013 calendar year for the Esplanade Club in San Diego. As usual, the data shown in the visual matrices is limited to regular partnerships who play in enough sessions to generate decent statistics but full data is presented in the tab delimited text files which are available as a download at the end of this page.

The Esplanade Club runs several sessions per week, both open and limited games. The following table shows the average field strength for each session in order of decreasing strength. The 2013 La Jolla unit and San Diego unit open games are also included for comparison.

Field strength for each session
Session Mean (MP) Geomean (MP)
San Diego Unit open pairs 2874 1787
La Jolla Unit open pairs 2711 1567
Esplanade Tue Eve open pairs 1770 940
Esplanade Thu Eve Mentor/Mentee open pairs 1468 531
Esplanade Wed Aft open pairs 1021 496
Esplanade Fri Mor open pairs 769 384
Esplanade Tue Mor 499er pairs 77 39
Esplanade Thu Mor 499er pairs 60 29

Both the mean and geometric mean is shown. I have argued previously that the geometric mean is a better indicator of field strength than the mean. In a geometric mean, the mean is taken in a logarithmic manner. For example, the geometric mean of two players with 10 and 1000 MP respectively, is 100 MP not 505 MP. Less experienced players drag down the geometric mean more than the arithmetic mean. A field with a high geometric mean should in principle be uniformly fairly tough and offer few gifts.

The Esplanade payoff matrices are presented below in the order of decreasing field strength according to the table above.

Esplanade Tuesday evening pairs

Timothy Flaherty and John Houde dominated the Tuesday evening game in 2013 with a 59.52% average, beating the runner up partnership of Timothy Flaherty and Rick Norton Jr. by a full 4.8%. This is a stunning difference considering that John Houde and Rick Norton Jr. have a similar number of masterpoints (2600 vs. 3000 at the end of 2013). The partnership of Timothy Flaherty and Rick Norton Jr at 54.70% barely edges out Spencer Emtage and Michele Zuniga (54.55%), Leon Fisher and Fred Flam (54.5%), Larry Erickson and Paul Foster (54.35%), and Rex and Sheila Latux (54.25%). These 54-something percent partnerships are close enough that we can only assert with 60% confidence that the partnership of Timothy Flaherty and Rick Norton Jr. is better than the partnership of Rex and Sheila Latux given the entire year of data for Tuesday evening.

There is a lot of payoff matrix data, an entry for every partnership-partnership interaction, easily several thousand interactions over the course of a year. But many of the interactions only involve a few boards. The payoff matrix can be simplified by limiting it to the interactions between regular partnerships. However, this reduction still leaves us with several hundred interactions. It helps to see the reduced results visually, as shown below.

Both axes list the partnerships in order of decreasing strength for partnerships who played at least 10 sessions in 2013. Each square shows how well the partnership listed on corresponding row does against the partnership in the corresponding column. The color scale runs from solid blue (30% or lower) to solid yellow (70% or better) with grey at 50%. White squares indicate partnerships that have never played any boards against each other. Pink squares indicate partnerships that can not interact because they have one or more players in common. The diagonal is always pink.

Move the mouse over the image to view the details for each square (matrix element). The hovering tooltip will show the names of the two partnerships, each partnership’s average against the field, the number of boards the partnerships have played against each other, and in bold the average results of those boards including an error. The average result shows how well the partnership on the row did against the partnership on the column. The matrix is anti-symmetric about the diagonal. Squares with a faint red X denote statistics based on relatively few boards, fewer than 10 in this case.

payoff matrix

The upper right corner of the matrix is mostly yellow. This is because stronger partnerships usually have an advantage against weaker partnerships. Conversely the lower left corner is mostly blue. However, there are interesting exceptions. For example, Ginger Calvert and Cheryl Rodzach cross up Christine Denny and William Bidermann.

Over/Underperformance

Even a weak partnership might cause another partnership a lot of trouble by doing far better against that partnership than the difference in skill against the field would suggest should be the case. We could say that the weak partnership is overperforming against the stronger partnership.

The matrix below corrects for the difference in partnership skill, showing how much each partnership overperforms or underperforms against another partnership. The blue to yellow scale runs from -20% to 20% with grey at 0%. Move the mouse of the image to view the details for each square (matrix element). As before the partnership names and average percentage are shown. The over-perform / under-perform percentage is shown in bold. The ordinary percentage from the previous figure is also shown. Note: the previous figure also shows the over/under-performance statistics after ‘OU:’ as in ‘OU: 9.7%’.

payoff matrix

The more yellowish and bluish square in the second matrix above are interesting because they indicate a pair that is strongly over/underperforming against another pair. The following table lists these relations in descending degree of payoff (or “exploitability”) where the pair-pair percentage is derived from at least 16 boards. Cnt is the number of boards that each interaction percentage based on.

The table gives us much to speculate about and yet it is still a lot to absorb. Part of the difficulty is that many pairs are listed multiple times. A graph may be a better representation. Here is an example: OU ≥ 6%, where the graph represents the data in the table above down to advantages as small as 6%.

Unlike the Social Network graphs, the payoff graphs are directed, i.e they represent flow, the transport of over/underperformance around the partnership network. An incoming arrow represents a payoff to a partnership; an outgoing arrow represents payoff from a partnership.

It should be noted that although these are directed graphs, they are not directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), an important and well studied class of graphs. Cycles are easy to spot. For example Lynn and Janice Wells payoff to Mary Woo and Roberta Massey who payoff to M Ali Mahdavi and Nicholas Krall who payoff to Rashad Ansari Jeffrey Leach who complete the cycle by paying off to Lynn Wells Janice Wells. So turns the wheel of exploitation.

Scientists and mathematicians may be concerned about the fact that inflow and outflow are not equal at each node (pair) given that the over/underperformance numbers have compensated for the difference in partnership ability. There are two reasons for this. First, only the most prominent and statistically confident payoffs are shown. Many smaller payoffs are suppressed in order to avoid total clutter. Second, the payoff calculations are based on different numbers of boards. For example, an underperformance of 3% over 40 boards would be balanced by a overperformance of 6% over 20 boards.

Esplanade Thursday evening mentor/mentee pairs

This session has a fairly high mean field strength but a comparably low geometric mean field strength because half the players are mentees.

The straight up and over/underperformance matrices below list the partnerships in order of decreasing strength for partnerships who played at least 7 sessions in 2013. Nicholas and Diane Krall (55.96% from 7 games) barely edge out Spencer Emtage and Afick Sharar (55.57% from 15 games), with Paul Foster and Sandy Kucha (55.28% from 15 games) in third place. These are close results. Statistically we can only say with 58% confidence that the Kralls are better than Spence and Afick in this game. Best Thursday evening game of the year goes to Lance and Anne Malkind, one time visitors who walked away with a 71.5% game.

Esplanade Wednesday afternoon open pairs

The matrices are limited to pairs who have played at least 10 sessions. John and Rima Sharron lead the Wednesday afternoon game with a 58.09% average over 24 games. But they are closely followed by Larry Sherman and John Sack (57.63% over 18 games), a pair seasoned for several years by the often tough Soledad Thursday night game. Statistics only allows us to assert with 67% confidence that the Sharrons are the better pair. In third place, significantly behind is the partnership of Jan Gallagher and the late John Devine (55.85% over 24 games), allowing us to assert with 82% confidence that Larry and John are the better partnership.

Esplanade Friday morning open pairs

As with the Wednesday afternoon open game, the matrices are limited to pairs who have played at least 10 sessions. The partnerships of Joe Houde and Ron Kay (61.05% over 11 games), and Kevin Chaisson and Philippe Lamoise (58.28% over 16 games) are a clear first and second place, ahead of a pack of partnerships averaging 55.81 and below. We can be more than 90% certain both that the first place partnership is better than second place partnerships and that the second place partnership is better than the third place partnership.

Esplanade Tuesday and Thursday morning 499er pairs

There is considerable overlap between the pairs in both morning 499er games. Therefore, it makes sense to create a single set of payoff matrices from the combined dataset.

The matrices are limited to pairs who have played at least 10 sessions between the two 499er sessions. It’s a close race at the top around 55% led by Alan and Lorna Strang (55.45% over 60 games), Wallace Mccoy and Leroy Wisper (55.34 over 17 games), and Vivian Entous and Ray Miller (54.83% over 26 games).
