A reasonable start to the season for WoSHBODS, though not on the accuracy front where it managed just 4.5 from 9.

A 22.7 points per game MAE is a little high, but somewhat inflated by the need to make forecasts for teams making their first appearance in the competition. WoSHBODS makes quite large ratings adjustments in the early rounds of a season, so we might hope to see some more precise forecasts in the second round.

It includes a bespoke Win Production Function that has been determined by modelling the results for previous seasons, which has yielded the following equation for expected wins.
