<p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{confuse|[[Conversion metrics]]}}<br />
'''Conversion stats''' (or '''conversion statistics''' or '''conversion data''') measure the [[conversion]] of individual questions or categories<br />
(sometimes called '''category stats''' or '''cat stats''').<br />
Conversion stats require tabulating entire scoresheets,<br />
which involves more fine-grained data than [[conventional stats]] (which only records summary data for each game – player [[statline]]s and final team scores),<br />
but less than [[detailed stats]] (which records much more data than is possible on a conventional paper scoresheet).<br />
<br />
Until 2016, only a small number of tournaments had created conversion stats, usually via the tedious task of transcribing [[scoresheet]]s row-by-row.<br />
Purpose-built [[electronic scoresheets]] can allow creating conversion stats automatically.<br />
<br />
==Assessment==<br />
Conversion stats can offer decent insight into how questions and teams play.<br />
For example, conversion stats can show which questions had a higher rate of [[power]]s or [[neg]]s,<br />
or how much consistency or variance in difficulty exists across bonuses.<br />
It can also show which categories a team is strong or weak at.<br />
<br />
However, conversion stats frequently suffer from low sample sizes, which contributes to misleading or [[misuse of stats]].<br />
Conversion stats also don't tell you anything about how interested or frustrated players felt about a question.<br />
<br />
Publishing conversion stats for [[unclear]] sets is a major responsibility and [[question security]] issue.<br />
It gives an unfair advantage to teams who play in later mirrors,<br />
it rewards many undesirable ways of [[metagaming]], and can cause unintended [[psychological]] consequences.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Not much information is known about the first instances of conversion stats.<br />
They were likely to have been novelties created by one person dedicated to manually entering around 10,000 numbers into Excel<br />
(which involves on the order of 100 paper scoresheets, each containing 50–100 pieces of data).<br />
<br />
Because large national tournaments use several thousand paper scoresheets,<br />
painstakingly creating conversion stats for them is beyond the practical scope of a single human's patience.<br />
<br />
===List of known tournaments before 2017 with conversion stats (not automated)===<br />

In May 2010, [[Charlie Dees]] cites several dozen answerlines with low conversion from an [[HSAPQ]] tournament.<ref>https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=186099#p186099</ref><br />
Since 2012, announcements for [[SCOP]] Novice and MS offer a small discount per attending team to tournament directors who send the raw scoresheets to the editors.<ref>https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=13243&hilit=conversion+statistics</ref><br />
In March 2014, [[Marianna Zhang]] mentions the existence of conversion stats for the high school housewrite [[Prison Bowl|Prison Bowl VII]].<ref>https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=278529#p278529</ref><ref>https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=265568#p265568</ref><br />
In March 2015, [[Ben Smith]] posted a comparison of conversion stats for the extra [[Canadian]] questions at the [[ONQBA]] Provincial Championship.<ref>https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=299309#p299309</ref><br />
Further information about all of the above is unknown.<br />
<br />
[[NAQT]] collects proprietary conversion stats from some of its tournaments,<br />
including national championships like [[HSNCT]] and [[ICT]], and some mirrors of [[SCT]] and [[IS]] sets.<br />
Perhaps an estimated 100,000 scoresheets have cumulatively been transcribed since around 2005<br />
by people whom NAQT has hired to do such manual data entry during the summer.<br />
Representatives of NAQT may post selected conversion information upon request,<ref><br />

In May 2016, [[Eddie Kim]] tabulated conversion stats for the audio-tossup-only music side event [[Imaginary Landscape]] No. 3,<br />
which was mirrored at HSNCT (up to 4 rooms × 8 rounds) and NSC (up to 3 rooms × 8 rounds).<br />
<ref>https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=318027#p318027</ref><br />
Buzz times, measured in elapsed seconds, were also collected (in a form of [[detailed stats]]).<br />
<br />
[[Andrew Hart]] published conversion stats for 2016 [[Chicago Open Trash]] (10 rooms × 12 rounds)<ref>https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=18849</ref><br />
and 2018 CO Trash (12 rooms × 11 rounds).<ref>https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=286&t=21530</ref><br />
As of 2021, the discussion threads for these stats have still generated more engagement than most other conversion stats or detailed stats, combined.<br />
<br />
Beginning in 2017, [[Jacob O'Rourke]] published limited conversion stats for some sites of [[WHAQ]], [[CAST]], [[LOGIC]], [[CALISTO]], and [[MWT]].<ref><br />

===Automation===<br />
<br />
Since November 2008, the tossup-only high school singles tournament [[Scobol Solo]] has tracked some conversion stats via software created by [[Jonah Greenthal]].<ref>https://www.scobolsolo.com/stats/conversion-by-question.jsp?object=2008</ref><br />
It has also tracked limited [[detailed stats]] since November 2016.<ref>https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=322675#p322675</ref><br />
<br />
Even though [[electronic scoresheets]] have existed for many years, most of them did nothing with the [[low-hanging fruit]].<br />
More recently, some electronic scoresheets may automatically tabulate conversion stats.<br />
<br />
The April 2016 tossup-only science side event [[AVOGADROS NUMBER]] used Google Sheets to collect conversion stats.<br />
Raw normalized data, standings, and aggregate stats by team, player, category, and author were published (4 rooms × 5 rounds + 5 rooms × 3 rounds).<ref>https://www.hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18515&p=326194#p314805</ref><br />
