Okay, one more set of metrics to throw at you, and then I'm done. Maybe.
This table shows the average final score for each power in the 40 standard league games since Sept. 1, 2008.

Some differences from the table that showed average supply center counts.
And here's the same metric by player for players who have played in five or more games since Sept. 1, 2008.

Easy now. This isn't what you think.
Here's a look at players from the past two seasons (standard league games) who have played two or more games without topping.

Player Board-Top Stats

Again, this table considers only standard league games played in the past two seasons (since Sept. 1, 2008). Greg, do you like this one a little better than the elimination-frequencies table?

Ask and you shall receive.
Earlier this week, Eric asked to see board-top stats by power. I did some tinkering in the database and came up with the following. Note that I've only scored standard league games played in the past two seasons (since Sept. 1, 2008).

As you can see, I awarded fractions for shared board tops. How do you feel about that? And anyone else surprised by Russia's topping rate?

Minutes from Jan. 31 NADF MeetingFriday, 05 February 2010 20:35 | Written by Jim O'Kelley |
For those interested, click here to see the minutes from the Jan. 31 meeting of the North American Diplomacy Federation leadership. You'll note, among other things, that the NADF will be inviting the other clubs to join us in our March Madness festivities. Also, I've had preliminary discussions with the Potomac Tea & Knife Society, our wacky uncles to the east, about a March Madness challenge bet. As soon as we agree on a wager, I'll share it with you, and hopefully you'll help make us look good by filling our March game openings!

Player Elimination FrequenciesTuesday, 02 February 2010 21:38 | Written by Jim O'Kelley |
I've never watched an episode of Lost, so why start now? Here are elimination frequencies for every player who has played at least five games with us. There are differences between this table and the player ratings I posted earlier today, but as you can imagine, the less often you're eliminated, the better your average supply center count is likely to be. Last Updated (Saturday, 06 February 2010 13:29) Player RatingsTuesday, 02 February 2010 18:31 | Written by Jim O'Kelley |
Here are average centers counts for every player who has played in at least five standard games with us, through Game No. 88. Like the Power Ratings, these averages are based on the sum of each player's center counts over the life of each of his games, divided by the total years played in each of those games.
