Overall Stats & Trends:

So we all know that the Point Series just keeps your best two rounds per week (Sunday - Saturday) to try and balance those who can play often with those who are not so fortunate. This does have an impact on the points and where players end up on the leaderboard. One way to try and get insight to who are the other top players but who just can't seem to get out to maximize their round count and there by potentially maximizing/increasing their point total, is to look at Average Points per Round.

Only 3 of the top players by Pts/Rnd average are actual in the top 20 overall.

Jeff White took advantage of Double Points for both of his two rounds at Hudsonville League of Champions - 2015 with one 1st place and one second place finishes for a 36 Pts/Rnd average. Geoff Bennett had 1st place finishes for all three of his rounds, two of which were for Double Points earning him a 40.6666 Pts/rnd average. The highest Pts/Rnd average I have seen so far is John "Johnny Mac" McClenahan 44 points in one round and only one round. 19 points for a 3rd place at GLOW SKINS, Firefighters Park but a nice Winter Ace on hole 2 for 25 extra points.


Here are the Top 20 players in order of Pts/Rnd average. Nice play guys

Position Player Points Rounds Pts / Round Average

======================================

The Average Pts./Rnd for the top 10 is 18.913 points in an average of 15.5 rounds each.

Looking at some stats and trends the first thing I notice is the difference between 20th and the top three positions on the overall leaderboard. Top three players average 23 rounds so far and 20th-15th average 8 rounds so far. That is a difference of 15 rounds and the Point Gap from 20th to 1st is 323 pts.

I also went through and looked at the Top 20 to see how many Wins, and how many Double Points Rounds and also Aces.

Only two players have Aces in the Top 20, Brian Fahnestock, GLOW SKINS Firefighters Park Hole 9 & samuel smith, Night Moose Fall/Winter 2014/2015, Willow Metropark Hole 17.

The highest Pts/Rnd Average in teh top 20 was Brooke Plantz with a 25.42857143 pts/Rnd Avg.

Most Wins - samuel smith with 7 so far.

Most Double Points - 6 attended by Phil "Puttimus Prime" Common

The top three have significantly more rounds than anyone else. Then between them Total Wins are a differentiator and the single Ace doesn't hurt Sam's point total either ;-)

Great consistent Great play guys.

There are 7 weeks remaining. Let's see who is at the top at the end of the season.
