EPTAlso, just a small question: Why cap the replays a user can upload to one? Wouldn't it be better for the study if a single user could upload as many as five replays?

Good question, we debated the decision heavily. There are several reasons: First, we though that making it easy for people was very important. This study is the first of it's kind, and we thought we'd get a better response if it was simple to do. As it turned out, only half the people that do the study complete all three steps. If we had required multiple replays, it might be even less. Second, having multiple replays, and particularly different numbers of replays from each person, creates a scenario which is more difficult to analyze for statistical reasons. Because we have never done a mass replay study, we were reluctant to add more complexity to the analysis. Third, because we are interested primarily in identify league characteristics, rather than individual player characteristics, it can be better to get fewer games from more players. If we have some success with this project, we will likely do followups where players submit many games over the course of a long time. We'll have better measures of individual progress, in that case. Thanks for participating, and please spread the word. The more participants, the better. | ||

edit: after doing it, I'm very very very intrigued as to how they will be interpreting the data. There were some pretty (seemingly) unrelevant questions. | ||

The only thing is a topic needs a good bump to catch their attention. They might miss things that the people who check TL every 5 minutes see.  | ||
