This series is typically available only for Ultiworld subscribers. Today’s edition is available to everyone as a free preview.
Welcome to Better Box Score Metrics, our analytics column focused primarily on semi-pro statistics and discovering new ways to use data to explore ultimate. It is anchored by EDGE, which we can summarize as converting goals, assists, blocks, turnovers, and yards gained into one metric, while accounting for the scoring and turnover environment.
San Diego Super Bloom finally conquered the WUL Championship Weekend, and while Player of the Year Kaela Helton’s now has her 15th championship across college, club, Team USA, and now pro, it was a well-balanced team effort that took Super Bloom over the top.
Eight Super Bloom had EDGE values over 1.0 (league per-game median = 0.72), and Dena Elimelech and Abbi Shilts, with 554 receiving yards between them, were both particularly productive. But the Falcons, vanquishers of the Alpenglow in semis, stayed close, led by Eliza Pugh’s errorless 178 throwing yards, 3 assist effort. Full box scores are below. You can sort by any statistic (scroll horizontally in the table to see every column). Additional stats are found on the excellent WUL Stats Page.

PP: Points Played
G: Goals
A: Assists
B: Blocks
ThY: Throwing Yards
RecY: Receiving Yards
Y: Total Yards
Pos: Possessions played
OppPos: Opponent possessions played
EDGE-O: TotYds* 0.007 (Approx) + (AST+GLS)* 0.18 (Approx) – TRNS*GameSE. Measured in Goal Equivalents. Actual coefficients depend on league averages.
EDGE-B: Blocks*GameSE. Measured in Goal Equivalents
EDGE: EDGE-O + EDGE-B. Measured in Goal Equivalents
E16: EDGE per 16 possessions (and 16 OppPos), with OppPos discounted to account for fewer goal equivalents available on an opponent possession. WUL per-game median = 0.92.
PER: Player efficiency rating, a refitting of team efficiency (goals/(goals + turnovers)) to the player level, calculated as Goal equivalents/(Goal equivalents+turnovers). Includes Bayesian inference adjustments using “prior expectations” to account for small sample sizes.
E+: An overall “game quality” index, a composite value based on z-scores of EDGE, E16, and PER intended to balance a player’s overall production with their productivity and efficiency rates.
