ROUND 5: RESULTS (FINAL)

Here it is: the final results! Sorry for the delay on this post! This blog has been so so fun to run and I loved seeing so many people have the same passion for the show that I do! It's really been a pleasure

I'm not sure if I should make this blog inactive or keep doing in9 related polls and posts, but if anyone has any poll series suggestions please comment; I'd be more than happy to hear them! Thanks again to all of the loyal participants in this series and I hope you're not too enraged by some of these results haha

(Key - episode eliminated in: red = round 1, orange = round 2, yellow = round 3, green = round 4, blue = round 5 - winner: lilac)

the final poll!! Have fun with this one guys!

Inside no 9, round 3

Stats for round 3 of @insideno9bracket 's tournament.

The rounds are coming thick and fast now, so time for less waffling and more data! (I apologise for the delay)

General data: 

Mean amount of votes per poll: 120 with an SD of 5.4. A big increase from round 2 (106). (SD is becoming less important now as we have less data, but it’s fun to see it’s going down, meaning all data points lie closer together). 

Mode: 121, 126

Median: 121 

Mean amount of notes per poll: 23 (up from 21!) 

AND, most excitedly, 11 of those are likes and 12 are reblogs!! We’ve done it! More reblogs than likes, woohoo! Ancient Tumblr would be proud of us 🙂

Rather than a top 3 and bottom 3 polls, I’ll just give you the top 7 (which looks like a top 5, due to episodes having the same amount of votes).

The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge vs The Stakeout (126 votes) AND The Devil of Christmas vs Riddle of the Sphinx (126 votes)

Sardines vs Mother’s Ruin (121 votes) AND Dead Line vs Plodding On (121 votes)

Cold Comfort vs Wise owl (119 votes)

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room vs Diddle Diddle Dumpling (113 votes)

Boo to a Goose vs The Trolley Problem (112 votes) 

There’s not much more to say about this, I don’t think. BCDR is surprisingly low this time, though. 

Top 3 most voted for episodes:

The Stakeout (90 votes)

Sardines (87 votes)

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room (79 votes) 

After all this time, BCDR is not our number 1! 

 Over all three rounds, the top 3 is now

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room (125 votes) 

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room (94 votes)

The Stakeout (90 votes) 

As we move further into the tournament, the percentage difference in each individual poll is getting smaller and smaller, so we probably won’t get any more outliers like BCDR in Round 1. 

Top 3 least voted for polls:

Mother’s Ruin AND Diddle Diddle Dumpling (34 votes)

The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge (36 votes)

The Devil of Christmas (48 votes) 

I would say that all of these surprise me, but on the other hand, I love all these episodes, and I know that everyone else does as well, so it doesn’t hurt that much… 

Let us now move on to win margins. As this is per poll, I’ll give you a top 7 again (I’ll go from smallest win margin to largest win margin). 

Cold Comfort vs Wise Owl (2.6%)

Dead Line vs Plodding On (7.4%)

Boo to a Goose vs The Trolley Problem (10.8%)

The Devil of Christmas vs Riddle of the Sphinx (23.8%)

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room vs Diddle Diddle Dumpling (39.8%)

The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge vs The Stakeout (42.8%)

Sardines vs Mother’s Ruin (43.8%) 

I hadn’t expected some of these winmargins to be this large (especially Sardines vs Mother’s Ruin, but that’s just because I fucking loooove Mother’s Ruin). 

Top 7 most interacted with polls (from most to least).

The Trial of ELizabeth Gadge vs The Stakeout (28 notes)

Cold Comfort vs Wise Owl (27 notes)

Sardines vs Mother’s Ruin AND Dead Line vs Plodding On (24 notes)

Boo to a Goose vs The Trolley Problem AND The Devil of Christmas vs Riddle of the Sphinx (20 votes)

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room vs Diddle Diddle Dumpling (16 notes)

It fascinates me that BCDR is always at the bottom! Make sure you don’t get too comfortable in the assumption BCDR will go through! 

And lastly, the top 9 seasons. 

^ Season 5 (90 votes, 1 winning episode) - 90 votes per episode

^ Season 1 (87 votes, 1 winning episode) - 87 votes per episode 

v Season 4 (160 votes, 2 winning episodes) - 72 votes per episode

^ Season 7 (61 votes, 1 winning episode) - 61 votes per episode

^ Season 9 (168 votes, 1 winning episode) - 56 votes per episode

v Season 3 (160 votes, 1 winning episode) - 53 votes per episode

v Season 2 (94 votes, 0 winning episodes) - 47 votes per episode

v Season 8 (34 votes, 0 winning episodes) - 34 votes per episode

- Season 6 (eliminated last round)

Some clarification on these results; 

^ means this season has gone up in ranking compared to last round

 - means the episode is in the same position as last round

v means the episode has gone down in ranking compared to last round

The votes per episode is calculated by taking the total amount of votes for that season, divided by the amount of episodes still in the running for that season. 

The amount of winning episodes is the amount of episodes that won in round 3.

This means season 4 is the only season with more than 1 episode in the semi finals, and season 2 & 8 are also eliminated now.

I think this is the last round I’ll do the stats for, as I am already a full round behind now. It was lovely doing this, though. I hope there’ll be another bracket tournament at some point so I can do some more stats :)

ROUND 4: RESULTS

Sorry for the delay on this one everyone! Things sure are getting tense now...

[insideno9bracket]

apologies everyone but here's where things start to get a little clunky, with one of our two 3-episode polls! The next round will be the final one, featuring all 3 survivors of round 4 in one poll! (Sorry it's not exactly ideal but this was the best solution I could think of for the uneven numbers)

[insideno9bracket]

yes unfortunately one of the polls of round 4, and the final poll of the entire series for round 5 will both be 3-episode polls!

Round 3 is now over!!

(red = eliminated in round 1, orange = round 2, yellow = round 3, white = still in the running!)

some interesting episodes left, I wonder who'll get grouped together next...

[insideno9bracket]

Only a small announcement but id like to thank you all for getting this account to 100 followers! I love seeing the passionate answers from everyone as it's so nice to see such a dedicated fanbase for something we all love so much! Thanks to everyone for participating and engaging with these polls, it means a lot to me!

[insideno9bracket]

Some very interesting points!! Funny how BCDR was very much expected to win but personally I didn't expect to see trial of elizabeth gadge winning! Hopefully we get intersting results in round 3!

Inside no 9, round 2

I’m back! Here are the stats for the wonderful tournament @insideno9bracket is holding!

The lay-out of this second round of stats will be very similar to the first, but with some extra comparisons to the first round (very excited about this). So, without further ado, let’s have a look. 

The general data

The mean amount of votes per poll was 106 (to the nearest whole number), with a SD of 9.4. This is a significant increase from the average of 90 votes per poll in the first round. The SD has gone down a bit from 11.6 in the first round (makes sense, as more people are now consistently voting, rather than discovering this tournament for the first time). 

The mode was 101, and the median 104, again showing there was a more consistent amount of votes per round this round! 

The mean amount of notes per poll (at the time of writing) was 21 (to the nearest whole number). 12 of these were likes and 9 were reblogs (0.6 were comments). 

The main take away from this data is that more people are (consistently) voting now! In my post about the first round I spoke about the general trend on Tumblr of moving away from reblogs and towards likes, and although this trend is persisting, I’m glad to say the gap is being closed! For every reblog in the first round, there were 1.5 likes. For every reblog in the second round, there were 1.3 likes! Keep reblogging, my friends! 

There was also a slight increase in the amount of people who interacted with the posts in other ways than just voting (20% in round 2, compared to 19% in round 1!) (again, this does not take into account people who liked AND reblogged, or reblogged multiple times). 

Next up, let’s take a look at the most popular polls and episodes. 

Top 3 most voted for polls: 

Diddle Diddle Dumpling vs The Last weekend  AND The Trolley Problem vs 12 Days of Christine (the first time) (120 votes)

The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge vs The Bill (114 votes)

Mr King vs Dead Line (112 votes) 

No insane outliers this time. Interestingly, not a single one of these episodes was in the top 3 polls in round 1! They’re all very popular episodes, though, so people really fought for them. 

Top 3 most voted for episodes:

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room (94 votes)

Wise Owl AND Boo to a Goose (87 votes)

Sardines (72 votes)

THERE SHE IS. BCDR once more tops the charts! The other 3 episodes are new to the list! BCDR didn’t win with as much of a landslide as last round, but it still scored higher than the second place in round one. Making the current top 3 most voted episodes across both rounds: 

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room (125 votes)

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room (94 votes)

Wise Owl AND Boo to a Goose (87 votes) 

Interestingly, BCDR was part of the poll that received the least amount of notes this round. People clearly did not feel the need to justify their answer.

Time to move on to the slightly more depressing part of every tournament; the bottom.

The top 3 least voted for polls: 

Once Removed vs Cold Comfort (88 votes) 

The Trolley Problem vs 12 Days of Christine (89 votes) 

Riddle of the Sphinx vs A Quiet Night In (98 votes)

It made me laugh that the Trolley Problem vs 12 Days is in both the top 3 and the bottom 3. I guess after the tie the first time around, some people simply couldn’t face the stress of fighting for their favourite again (alas). I’m not sure why Once Removed vs Cold Comfort received so few votes? Perhaps one of you clever buggers might have an idea.

The top 3 least voted for episodes:

Nine Lives Kat (7 votes)

Curse of the Ninth (17 votes)

Thinking Out Loud (21 votes)

Oh Nine Lives Kat, you were up against BCDR, you never stood a chance. May you rest in peace now. Also, the other two were up against the two episodes that received the second most amount of votes (Wise Owl and Boo to a Goose), so it makes sense they did not score higher.

This, once more, brings me nicely to the point of win margins. 

Top 3 biggest win margins: 

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room (93.1%) va Nine Lives Kat (6.9%)

Wise Owl (83.7%) vs Curse of the Ninth (16.3%)

Boo to a Goose (80.6%) vs Thinking Out Loud (19.4%)

Well, that lines up neatly with the most voted for/least voted for episodes, doesn’t it! 

Top 3 smallest win margins:

The Trolley Problem (50%) vs 12 Days of Christine (50%) 

Mother’s Ruin (51.5%) vs La Couchette (48.5%) AND The Devil of Christmas (51.5%) vs Tom and Gerri (48.5%) 

Diddle Diddle Dumpling (52.5%) vs The Last Weekend (47.5%)

Our first tie-break! Very exciting. The Trolley Problem vs 12 Days (the first time) was also the poll with the most notes, which makes sense as people REALLY fought for their favourite. It is clear that all these episodes are incredible (look at me not slagging off 12 days! Ah fuck, now I have), but alas, only one can be crowned the winner in the end!

I have already mentioned two of these above, but let’s have a look at the most and least interacted with polls. 

Top 3 most interacted with polls: 

The Trolley Problem vs 12 Days of Christine (first time) (40 notes)

The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge vs The Bill (28 notes)

The Stakeout vs Simon Says (26 notes)

Top 3 least interacted with polls:

Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room vs Nine Lives Kat (12 notes)

The Trolley Problem vs 12 Days of Christine (second time) (13 notes)

Thinking out Loud vs Boo to a Goose (14 notes)

At the risk of repeating myself, the top 3 are clearly episodes where people were very passionate about which episode should win, whereas the bottom 3 are ones where people just voted without trying to convince others. 

Though it is very funny to see the difference between TP vs 12 Days first time and second time. People truly gave up (a little sad). 

Lastly, scores per season! 

Top 9 seasons: 

- Season 4 (237 votes, 2 winning episodes) - 59 votes per episode

^ Season 3 (229 votes, 3 winning episodes) - 57 votes per episode 

^ Season 8 (109 votes, 1 winning episodes) - 55 votes per episode

- Season 1 (161 votes, 1 winning episodes) - 54 votes per episode

- Season 2 (264 votes, 2 winning episodes) - 53 votes per episode

v Season 9 (242 votes, 3 winning episodes) - 48 votes per episode

v Season 7 (144 votes, 1 winning episodes) - 48 votes per episode

v Season 5 (129 votes, 1 winning episodes) - 43 votes per episode

- Season 6 (30 votes, 0 winning episodes) - 30 votes per episode

Some clarification on these results; 

^ means this season has gone up in ranking compared to last round

 - means the episode is in the same position as last round

v means the episode has gone down in ranking compared to last round

The votes per episode is calculated by taking the total amount of votes for that season, divided by the amount of episodes still in the running for that season (hence why the total votes for season 6 is 30, and the votes per episode is 30. All 30 of these votes were for Simon Says). 

The amount of winning episodes is the amount of episodes that won in round 2. This means that for round 3, four different seasons will only have 1 episode still in the running. 

For season 2 and 9 I have calculated the total and average using both the original TP vs 12 Days AND the rematch (hence why the total votes for those two seasons are higher than for the others, but the votes per episode aren’t).

Season 9 and season 7 seemingly have the same amount of votes per episode, but this is merely because I rounded it to a whole number. The reason season 9 ranks above season 7 is because (to 1d.p.) the votes per episodes are: season 9 - 48.4, and season 7 - 48.0. 

Congrats! You’ve made it to the end of my ramblings! I hope you enjoyed, feel free to add thoughts/questions/comments to this post, and do not worry, I have already started my spreadsheet for round 3!
