High-Score Bucket
Q: What is a high-score bucket?
A: A high-score bucket is a way to compress the score space.
Football can theoretically end with many scores, such as 6:0, 7:2, or 8:3. If the model enumerates every possible score without limit, the state space becomes too large.
So high scores can be put into one bucket.
For example, use 99 to represent 6 or more goals:
\[ {0,1,2,3,4,5,99} \]
The score-state space becomes:
\[ {0,1,2,3,4,5,99}\times{0,1,2,3,4,5,99} \]
Examples:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 5:2 | Home 5, away 2 |
| 99:0 | Home 6 or more, away 0 |
| 1:99 | Home 1, away 6 or more |
| 99:99 | Both teams in the high-score bucket |
The point is not to predict 99:99. It is to represent the high-score region with a finite symbol.
