Tossup AI models

"Would-buzz%" and "Avg WB Pos" come from the per-tossup counterfactual: what every present model would have done. "Won"/"Acc%" are realized in-game stats. PPG = tossup pts / games present.

Bonus AI models

Teams consult a bonus model on a part for deflated credit. "Acc%" = how often correct after consulting; "Flip%" estimates how often the team adopted the AI's suggestion over its own initial guess.

Tossup AI models

"Would-buzz%" and "Avg WB Pos" come from the per-tossup counterfactual: what every present model would have done. "Won"/"Acc%" are realized in-game stats. PPG = tossup pts / games present.

Bonus AI models

Teams consult a bonus model on a part for deflated credit. "Acc%" = how often correct after consulting; "Flip%" estimates how often the team adopted the AI's suggestion over its own initial guess.

Bonus strategy — tournament-wide

On each bonus part a team chooses: answer on its own, consult an AI model (deflated points), or abstain. Abstain accuracy = parts where pts > 0.
