Tiptoeing through the stats

"There are lies, Damned lies and statistics" - Mark Twain.

I've thrown some calculations together anyway.

The result, based on 2 for a win, 1 for a tied result (W-L-T) - as opposed to the SPP thing that was used:
1) Thadrin (4-1-0) - told you it must be a lie.
2) Longfang (3-0-2)
3) Marcus (3-1-1)
4) Bem (3-2-0)
4) Daryl (3-2-0)
6) Prince Lucy (2-1-2)
7) Daan (2-2-1)
7) Longshot (2-2-1)
7) Deathwing (2-2-1)
10) Norse (1-1-3)
11) Niels (2-3-0)
12) Davin (1-3-1)
13) Spyke (1-4-0)
14) Trambi (0-5-0)

Power Rankings....how strong were your opponents?

1) Prince Lucy (13-8-4)
2) Deathwing (13-9-3)
3) Norse (12-9-4)
4) Marcus (10-7-8)
5) Longfang (11-9-5)
6) Longshot (9-7-9)
7) Davin (10-9-6)
8) Spyke (11-11-3)
9) Niels (10-11-4)
10) Trambi (11-13-1)
11) Bem (10-12-3)
12) Thadrin (8-11-6)
13) Daryl (9-15-1)
14) Daan (8-14-3)

remove the games payed against the opponent (so your ranking is worked out from the 20 other games your opponents played - 5 opponents x 4 games)

1) Longfang (11-6-3)
2) Marcus (9-4-7)
3) Prince Lucy (11-7-2)
3) Deathwing (11-7-2)
5) Longshot (7-5-8)
6) Norse (11-8-1)
7) Thadrin (7-7-6)
8) Davin (7-8-5)
9) Bem (8-9-3)
10) Niels (7-9-4)
11) Spyke (7-10-3)
12) Daryl (7-12-1)
13) Daan (6-12-2)
14) Trambi (6-13-1)

Home vs. Away:
The visitors clearly took the Sunday, the home boys clearly took the saturday. OVERALL: there were 35 games. 7 involved visitors playing each other. 2 involved Dutch players meeting. of the remaining 26 there were 6 ties. The other twenty games saw the home mob take home a slight victory, 11 games to 9.

It may be wrong in places. read into it what you will. Its really just meaningless number play. I think it basically says Marcus deserved to win.

You misunderstand Trambi - the second two lists are how well your OPPONENTS did, not how you did.

Shows that Longfang, Marcus, Lucy and Deathwing had the toughest opposition.

Yes but I lost 5 matchs without the weakest opposition, that's one of the good points !

I didn't win the tourney because I faced many sober opponents.....
There should be a rule against that next year :P
Actually, I wanna see a score where the alcohol consumption is reflected in the overall score.... I definitely know who'd have won then :lol:

Lucy
