How the two battles landed
Battle 1 · 2025 sweeps 2010, 10–0
Top-ten averages 2025 = 4.512 vs 2010 = 4.472, a +0.040 edge. 2025 takes every seed, several by a hair.
Battle 2 · 2010+2011 wins 6–4
Pooled, the comeback years flip it: combined top-ten 4.527 vs 2025 = 4.512, +0.015. 2025 keeps the top four; the pool sweeps seeds 5–10.
Read this before you trust the depth win
Sample sizes are lopsided. Sample sizes are lopsided. 2025’s contenders rest on >500 to >1000 ratings, while nearly every 2010 and 2011 show carries only >50. In four of the six rounds the combined pool wins, a thin-sample old show (>50 votes) edges a heavily-voted 2025 show (>500 votes). Small samples tend to run high, since the handful of people who rate a fifteen-year-old show are usually the ones who loved it. The 10–0 sweep in Battle 1 is on firmer ground than the 6–4 flip in Battle 2.
How ties were broken
Several ratings look identical at three decimals (the two 4.509 shows, the two 4.507 shows in the combined pool). Phish.net carries more precision underneath. Seeding here uses that full hidden value from the ratings table, not the rounded display. Under the hood: Bethel 5/26/11 = 4.50943 edges 1/1/11 MSG = 4.50900, and 9/4/11 Dick’s = 4.50742 edges 8/5/11 Gorge = 4.50654. The next show out, DTE 6/3/11 at 4.50437, genuinely sits below the tenth seed rather than being dropped by a coin flip.
