I've compiled conversion stats for ACF Nationals, as well as tables of all buzzes and bonus parts (complete with category and intended bonus part difficulty). These use the Nats scoresheets that Harry White shared.
(linking because the boards won't let me attach CSVs for some reason)

Re: 2022 ACF Nationals conversion stats
I've made some plots of correlations in scoring between different categories (i.e. how much does being good at category X indicate someone is good at category Y?). I haven't seen this analysis done before but I found the results pretty interesting.

Re: 2022 ACF Nationals conversion stats
I can't help but wonder if the very high correlation between lit subcategories would hold if you distributed by genre instead. Seems unlikely.

This was my intuition too, but it's actually not true:Og's Magog Bog wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 1:04 am I can't help but wonder if the very high correlation between lit subcategories would hold if you distributed by genre instead. Seems unlikely.
I've updated the above tossup files with the genre tagging. I'll likely have time to code some other subsubcategories (e.g. Other Science into astro/cs/math/etc., Social Science into anthro/econ/psych/etc.) this weekend; if you want to help let me know!
