Ok sorry for the delay - between work travel 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 our Winter Champion title award.

14 week season
28 possible Counted Rounds
Sunday Nov 23rd 2014 - Saturday Feb 28th 2015
6 leagues
46 Total # of Players
226 Total Rounds Played
3,883 Total Points awarded

I always like to look at how many rounds players actually played and what it takes to make it into the top spots. This kind of cuts to the chase of what the biggest factor was to making it to the top as the top ten by rounds is the top ten players overall. In seasons when players play more that two leagues a week then it really starts to shake things up but in the top 10 one one had a week where there was a dropped round so currently the key is to play more rounds than anyone else and do hope you do better than anyone else who plays the same number of rounds.

Kudos to the top four players who managed to get in 18 or more rounds of the max 28 rounds during the 14 week season. Your on the right path and hey your in the top 4.

Leaderboard Position Player Points Total Rounds
2 Bob Becker 343 21
3 Andy Morrison 341 20
1 Larry Bright Jr. 361 18
4 eric " Sharky " boyd 321 18
5 Mickey Anderson 201 12
7 David Tilson 199 12
6 melissa martin 200 11
10 Ryan Lynch 154 11

9 Kevin Daney 183 9

I was also very excitted to see a woman in the top ten.
melissa martin with 11 rounds and two win in handicapped leagues. Way to go melissa.

Now another great metric to look at is the points per round average to try and identify the sleepers who if they could just get a few more rounds in at their current pt/round Avg they would be up near the top - but you just never know unless they actually play the rounds.....

so in the top ten the average points per round average is between 14 & 20.05555556
pts per round. If I order the players who have at least 3 rounds by their point per round average here are the top players and several could have been in the top ten if they had just a few more rounds in this season....

Top Players by Pts/Round Average with 3 or more rounds.

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

9 Kevin Daney 183 9 20.33333333
14 Bill Perry 101 5 20.2
1 Larry Bright Jr. 361 18 20.05555556
15 Tim kaihlanen 80 4 20
8 Bill "The Ninja" Savage 187 10 18.7
6 melissa martin 200 11 18.18181818
12 tim toth 126 7 18
4 eric " Sharky " boyd 321 18 17.83333333
13 Dan Nelson 107 6 17.83333333
3 Andy Morrison 341 20 17.05
17 Joe Michelini 68 4 17
11 Michael "Sean" Barnes 151 9 16.77777778
5 Mickey Anderson 201 12 16.75
18 Ryan Kolbus 50 3 16.66666667
7 David Tilson 199 12 16.58333333
2 Bob Becker 343 21 16.33333333
19 Greg Platt 48 3 16
20 Frank Lyons 46 3 15.33333333
20 PK Deaner 46 3 15.33333333
20 eric centanni 46 3 15.33333333
20 Robert Hanratty 46 3 15.33333333
10 Ryan Lynch 154 11 14

Now the highest points per round average was 20.33333333 pts /round by Kevin Daney in 9th place with 9 rounds - Great consistent play Kevin. The fact that Larry Bright Jr. with 18 rounds was just slightly off the pts/rounds Average 20.05555556 but that demonstrates while he is at the #1 spot -

So it shows that you have to get out and try to get as many rounds as possible in, two rounds per week in if you really want a chance to be in the top spots.

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 69 players during the Ohio Winter - First lets look at the average of the key stats of the top ten players:

Average stats for top ten players
249 Points
14.2 # of Rounds 1.0 Avg Rounds / week
14.2 # of Rounds Counted 1.0 Avg Rounds / week
17.582 Average Points per Rounds
17.582 Average Points per Counted rounds
2.7 Wins Larry had 7 the max, Andy Morrison had 5 and Kevin Daney was next with 4
0.0 Aces No Aces in the top 10 - Man that was a tough season....

154 Min points
361 Max points
207 Point Spread between 1st and 10th

Ok so the overall factor was # of rounds played and Wins. With the top four with over 18 rounds each.
