The "Pressure Gauge"

[cmndstab]

Has anybody been able to work out what the **** the "Pressure Gauge" is actually measuring?

The only thing I've heard so far is "if at any stage there is a difference of 10, you have an 80% chance of winning" (another commentator said "your team is GUARANTEED to win!"). Considering the scale appears to be roughly 100-200, that's a big claim.

I haven't watched every footy match or weekly AFL show so maybe I missed it. Has the AFL put any information out about what the numbers correspond to?

Pressure gauge measures pressure

I imagine tackles, smothers, spoils etc

But it honestly reminds me of the old "player comfort gauge" on the Channel 9 Cricket Commentary Weather Wall with Tony Greig. Just gimmicky graphic stuff to spice up a telecast. Sometimes when David King is talking stats my brain just turns off.

Only sometimes?

I like the idea of something that collates stats into something that has been proved to be statistically significant when tracking likelihood to win.

I'd just like to know what it actually is though.

Cmon man - it's a gauge that measures pressure. Plz

Seriously though - I agree - how hard is it to tell us how they get the magic number
