NEVER DIE WONDERING


Games Played & Armies Used

Never Die Wondering League Table - at 18 June 2008 (post Berserker 2008)

The table below summarises the number of rated games played for each player in rated tournaments. It only includes players who have played at least 20 rated games excluding Cancon 1999.

It is ordered by proportion of draws (as defined below) with the lowest proportion given the highest ranking. Where the draw proportion is equal the player that has played the most games is given the higher ranking.

This table is intended to highlight those players who will "never die wondering what may have been" or are prepared to always try for a result even at some risk. Or at least that is one interpretation of its contents.

The total number of games played is shown and the average 10 point score in those games.

The right hand columns show the percentage of games "won", "drawn" and "lost" for each player. Where the scoring system used, eg GSC15, allows this to be determined precisely that information has been used. Under other scoring systems it is based upon the equivalent of a 10 point score from each game where a score of 6.5 to 10 is considered a win, 3.5 to 6.5 a draw and 0 to 3.5 a loss. In these cases the available data does not permit any more accurate determination of wins, draws and losses than this. Note also that for this purpose it is not possible to include any games from Cancon 1999. The number shown in brackets is the number of games used in the determination of the win/draw/loss percentages - that is excluding games from Cancon 1999.

The proportion of games won, drawn and lost for the last 12 months only are also shown in the right hand columns.
