Magin's Formula, a formulation of noted philosopher of quizbowl Jonathan Magin, is an equation measuring a quizbowl player's worth. It is usually stated as (Number of career contributions to quizbowl)/(Number of enemies in quizbowl + 1). Many informed observers agree that Seth Teitler has the highest value on it.
