A wrestler’s ranking is based on his performance in the elite tournaments that are held six times a year. each wrestler has fift
een bouts per tournament, one per day over fifteen consecutive days. if he finishes the tournament with a winning record (eight victories or better), his ranking will rise. if he has a losing record, his ranking falls. if it falls far enough, he is booted from the elite rank entirely. the eighth victory in any tournament is therefore critical, the difference between promotion and demotion; it is roughly four times as valuable in the rankings as the typical victory. so a wrestler entering the final day of tournament on the bubble, with a 7–7 record, has far more to gain from a victory than an opponent with a record of 8–6 has to lose. —freakonomics, levitt and dubner which type of reasoning is being used here?
