What happens when you give Price V. Fishback, a University of Arizona professor of economics and member of the National Bureau of Economic Research, a spreadsheet and a swim meet? In the most numbers-driven sport of the world, a lot of fun ensues.
Professor Fishback has lined out the “SeeSaws” for the final night of the women’s 2013 NCAA Championships, which will go event-by-event showing, based on seed, where the scoring is expected to go tonight. That means that after every event is completed, you can track how your team is performing, and how they’ve moved themselves up or down toward a certain position. Consider it a top-15 “cheat sheet” for tonight’s meet.
