Research paper schedule released

The MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference has released the list of finalists of their research paper competition.  I am surprised that there are only four papers in the final competition; I would have expected six to eight.  One of the papers is — surprise, surprise — on the Pythagorean expectation in baseball, examining how run distribution affects the win percentage of a team.  It's written by a physics professor at Iowa State.
