Scoring volatility

Win probability turns the score and clock into a live percentage. Early on, even a big lead is fragile because plenty of scoring remains; late in the game, the same lead is nearly safe because the uncertainty has shrunk. Modeling the remaining margin as a shrinking random variable produces the classic curve that broadcasts now show on screen.

Governing equation

P = \frac{1}{1 + e ^{- 1.7 ℓ / σ_{r}}} = \frac{1}{1 + e ^{- 1.7 \cdot (5) /5.5}} = 82.5%

Reading this result: A 5-point lead is still soft with 10 min on the clock — plenty of scoring remains, keeping win probability near 83%.

About this simulation

The full Win Probability tool models a pole vault with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
