Just curious, is there similar data for the previous years?

Yep. Figured 33,000 games was enough to be going on with though. :D

Damnable office filters. I'd be all over this, just for something to do at work, but cant :(

If I remember I'll take a look this evening and send it to myself at work and see what I can see.

Having had a quick look at this (while I'm supposed to be doing "proper" statistics for my OU course) I've noted two things:

1. For the time period, I'm 8-2-4 whilst the home team, and 4-2-4 whilst the away team. Home team advantage ftw! Time to rig some draws... :wink: :lol:

2. OpenOffice really does suck balls compared with Excel (I work on a Mac). May have to import this into google drive for doing some real investigation (or maybe use one of those stats packages I've accumulated from OU...)

To start;

France plays more matches than anyone else. Plus only 15 nations hosted NAF ranked tournaments.

I'm doing some analysis using Tableau. I need to slice the data up a little bit and create some aggregates, but there's some interesting stuff there with just a cursory glance.

Germany is the only country where Necromantic are more popular than Undead. Latin speakers love their Undead but they don't love Necro nearly so much, Undead are five times as popular as Necro in Italy.

Americans love to bash, Chaos are as popular in the US as Wood Elves. Take your hard hat and magic sponge!

Italy and the UK are the twin homes of warpstone, Skaven very popular in those two countries.

Slann are not very popular in France. Thin skin perhaps?
