Total Performance Rating
The "Explaining TPR" SeriesVolume I: The Basics Volume II: The Win Component Volume III: The Method Component - Part 1 Volume III: The Method Component - Part 2 Volume IV: The Time Component (more to come) The Total Performance Rating (T.P.R.) is a statistic used to measure the quality of a fighter’s performance. Scored on a scale between 0-100, T.P.R. provides an easy way to measure and compare performance in any single fight, whether 30 seconds or 30 minutes long. Consider T.P.R. to be for MMA fighters what the NFL’s Passer Rating is for quarterbacks. T.P.R. takes advantage of FightMetric’s proprietary effectiveness algorithm and is made up of six components: Volume, Accuracy, Dominance, Win/Loss, Method, and Time. Volume (40 possible points): How much effective offensive volume did the fighter produce compared to the average fighter? Accuracy (20* possible points): How accurate was the fighter in all of his techniques compared to the average fighter? Dominance (15* possible points): How does the fighter’s offensive volume compare to his opponent’s? Win/Loss (5 possible points): Did the fighter win or lose? Method (10 possible points): By what method did the fighter win or lose? Time (10* possible points): How long did it take for the fighter to win or lose? *Meaningful accuracy stats cannot be measured for a fighter who attempts less than 20 offensive techniques. In those cases, Accuracy does not factor into of the formula. Instead, Dominance has 25 possible points and Time has 20 possible points. Weights for the components were informed by FightMetric analysis and results from a survey of over 200 MMA fans. Calculations are normalized using FightMetric’s database so that the average winner’s score should be 55 and the average loser’s score is 45. A note on scores: T.P.R. only utilizes scores for HiPer techniques, that is, techniques that have historically resulted in a high percentage of fight endings. Scores for low percentage strikes and positional advances in bottom position are not included in T.P.R.’s Offensive Volume scores. Total Performance Rating = D+V+A+W+M+T |
