DGLA: Michigan Cooperative Point Series - Winter 2014/15 FINAL Stats

Ok sorry for the delay - between work and a crazy German flu strain that took me out for another week I'm a bit behind but here are some official stats and the berth awards.

14 week season 28 possible Counted Rounds
Sunday Nov 23rd 2014 - Saturday Feb 28th 2015
18 leagues
363 Total # of Players
2359 Total Rounds Played
46,329 Total Points awarded

I like to look at how many rounds players actually played and what it takes to make it into the top spots. Now given we cap the weekly rounds at Two per week to try and balance things out it's always interesting to look at number or rounds and player pt average per round to try and identify the sleepers who if they could just get a few more rounds in at their current pt/round total they would be up near the top - but just just never know .....

so in the top ten the average points per round average is between 22.8 & 40.69 pts per round. If I order the players who have at least six rounds by their point per round average here are the top players who did not make the top ten but could have if they had just a few more rounds in this season....

Current position, Player, Pts, # of Rounds, Average PTs/Round

59 Austin Cook 253 9 28.11111111
41 grant ward 309 11 28.09090909
73 Connor Gortsema 224 8 28

Now the highest points per round average was 40.69 pts /round by Ryan Herzog in 10th place with 13 rounds.
soit shows that you have to get out and try to get your two rounds per week in if you really want a chance to be in the top ten.

What else helps. Wins, Aces and Double Points

Ok let's take a quick look at what it takes to make it in the top Ten of 363 players during the Michigan Winter - First lets look at the average of the key stats of the top ten players:

Average stats for top ten players
627.4 Avg PTS.
30.1 # of total Rounds 2.2 Avg Rounds / week
23.6 # of Rounds Counted 1.7 Avg Rounds / week
22.912 Average Points per Rounds
27.270 Average Points per Counted rounds
7.2 Wins
0.4 Aces
15.9 Rounds with Double Points

Min Point to be in the Top ten: 529
Max points 846
so 317 points separated tenth place from first place.

It's always interesting to see how much Aces come into play with 25 points per Ace which can be equivalent to an extra round in many cases.

The average was 0.4 and that was because only one player in the top ten had any aces at all, but he had 4 and even two in one round. Got to love that Glow at Bandemer. Really nice shooting Sam Smith for an extra 100 extra points for the season.

Now even without the Ace points Sam still had first place locked up by 24 points. Now that is just one rounds worth of winter points so those Aces did add a nice buffer. The Killer as Phil Common who has had a great consistently strong season was trying to regain after we notice the two round a week max rule had not be turned on at the beginning and his massive point accumulation for all his many rounds was re-adjusted. But as the great competitor he is he took it in stride and said "Oooooo Man....But hey I want it to be fair and legit for all....Got some work to do these last 6 weeks" and he did just that. But Sam threw three Aces in the last two weeks as well as his 13 win versus Phil's 10 just was to much to recover from. What a shoot out between these two amazing players. I'd also like to commend Phil for stepping up and running a new Glow league on Mondays nights - giving it back to the players. Both of these players lend a hand when ever the need arises. I'm thrill to be awarding them the Two DGLA Player Winter berths for this season. Great play and great playing with you guys always.
