Thanks dode. Apologies, it seems I saw the word 'forum' and my brain replaced it with 'facebook'.

No replies!! I've bumped it (hopefully the cyanide forum admins won't see my unsubtle bump!)

Yeah the News section doesn't seem to be the best place for it. Either of the General Discussions is better.

I took the survey.

I answered neutral on the set of tournament Qs and the ones for minis/painting. That is because I could not skip them. I never go to tournies and have not painted in 20+ years, so both are irrelevant for me. A way to skip would avoid skewing the results.

Good luck with the survey.

The survey is now closed and the process of crunching and interpreting the responses has begun in earnest!

In approximately 10 days time we'll be releasing a report that details the conclusions, learnings and (where appropriate) some follow up actions from the survey. To that end, and given the short amount of time between the survey close and release dates, we've pulled together a small team of people experienced with data mining and analysis to help us attack the data from more angles than we might otherwise have the time or knowledge to do ourselves. Nevertheless, the information doesn't stop there; if you read the NAF minutes you may have seen that at the last committee meeting we decided to release the raw data from the survey early to allow the whole community not only to drill down into the information for themselves, but also to offer anyone who does so the opportunity to feed their insights back into our own findings for distribution.

What can you do to help?

Everyone is invited to be part of this work. The first two steps - cleaning the data of personal information, and demonstrating how individual questions have been answered in isolation - have now been completed. What we're looking for in the next step is any observation based on combinations or dependencies of responses, ie where there's an insightful correlation between how the population has answered on question or set of questions with how they've responded to another. So if you're a bit of a stats fiend and think you might have found something interesting in the information along those lines, then please post or discuss your findings here, or send a PM to either me or sann0638, at any time over the next five days or so.

Enjoy! :)

If you read all the forums.

Is the survey important though, it could have been announced at tournaments, I mean you got the would cup soon with over 900 coaches, could have been announced there or at the captains meeting or both. A link could have been placed in all the tournament posts with a request to TO's to announce at their event, so when you say plastered everywhere I take it this one thread!?

Just saying, if it's important then missed opportunities there. Whole nations could have been excluded. But good effort on collecting valuable data i'm sure whatever you decide to do will be best for the whole community lol

On it! Sadly my work won't let me access drop box and all my attempts to email the file to myself gets blocked. The one thing my work IT is not terrible at is security it seems!

Any way you could put the file on the naf website for direct download please?
