I’m taking advantage of this snow day to update our club stats. We started scoring games and tracking board tops in Season 4, which began in September 2008. Since then, we’ve played 77 games, not counting tournament games and our club championship games. Here’s a look at how the powers have performed in that span.
| Power | Board Tops |
Games | Pct. |
|---|---|---|---|
| England | 17.00 | 77 | 22.08% |
| Russia | 15.25 | 77 | 19.81% |
| Turkey | 12.75 | 77 | 16.56% |
| France | 12.25 | 77 | 15.91% |
| Germany | 9.00 | 77 | 11.69% |
| Austria | 5.75 | 77 | 7.47% |
| Italy | 5.00 | 77 | 6.49% |
How about that comeback for Russia, which was the doormat of the club in our early days. Despite the continued popularity of the Sundstrom Opening (Con-Bul, Ank-Bla, Smy-Arm), Russia has performed much better of late.
Now, let’s take a look at player topping stats. During these 77 games, 103 players have played with us. This table considers only those who have played in more than one game and have topped or shared a board top. Twenty-nine players qualify. The results are sorted by topping percentage as opposed to number of board tops.
| Rank | Player | Board Tops | Games | Pct |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Matt Sundstrom | 9.50 | 24 | 39.58% |
| 2 | Tony Prokes | 2.50 | 7 | 35.71% |
| 3 | Grant Smith | 1.00 | 3 | 33.33% |
| 3 | John Ritz | 1.00 | 3 | 33.33% |
| 5 | Adam Berey | 2.50 | 9 | 27.78% |
| 6 | Jim O’Kelley | 7.50 | 28 | 26.79% |
| 7 | Peter Yeargin | 7.50 | 30 | 25.00% |
| 7 | Greg Duenow | 4.50 | 18 | 25.00% |

| 20 | Ted McClelland | 2.75 | 23 | 11.96% |
| 21 | Kevin O’Kelly | 1.50 | 13 | 11.54% |

| 25 | Pete McNamara | 2.25 | 23 | 9.78% |
| 26 | Samuel Bassett | 1.75 | 19 | 9.21% |
| 27 | Todd Woodman | 0.50 | 7 | 7.14% |
| 28 | Mike Morrison | 2.00 | 30 | 6.67% |
| 28 | Christopher M. Davis | 1.00 | 15 | 6.67% |
Note that Matt would also lead this chart if we sorted by number of board tops.
