How are the participant scores and rankings calculated?
Up to table of contents
The system publishes a ranking table per sample, listing top performing participants. The same scores are used to calculate the lab of the year. How are these scores arrived at?
System managers determine which analyses are to be included in the calculations and select them in the system set-up. These represent the most popular wine analyses, performed by many labs
After each round, labs are given points relative to their performance for these analyses, 2 points for an A result, 1 point for a B and 0 for a C or smaller
In the current set-up, January 2008, the following 7 analyses are included in the calculation:
Alcohol
FSO2 (Ripper)
pH
Reducing Sugar
TSO2 (Ripper)
Titratable Acid
Volatile Acid
A score of 14 thus represents full marks
