Good idea. > 11 ( 12) Andrew Savige $ 562,000.00 (6/8) > 12 ( 11) Jerome Quelin $ 562,000.00 (3/8) > Hey, that's unfair! We have earned the same money amount, we should have > the > same ranking... In fact, maybe I should remain 11th and you 12th, since > my > money-per-contest is higher than yours! ;) You are right. That was just laziness. No, really it was. I just sorted alphabetically if the prize money was the same. > Oh, btw, what about a table with the money per contest? We'll see who's > the > most effective player. Well, here it is: Average earning per course (santa, irc, even, tpr00-04) ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. Tim Gim Yee $ 440000 (2) 2. Ton Hospel $ 381714 (7) 3. Eugene van der Pijll $ 374000 (6) 4. Lars Mathiesen $ 285333 (3) 5. Autrijus Tang $ 272000 (1) 6. Rick Delaney $ 272000 (1) 7. Rick Klement $ 250000 (8) 8. Marcus Holland-Moritz $ 239200 (2) 9. Jukka Suomela $ 234666 (3) 10. Karsten Sperling $ 212720 (5) 11. Mtv Europe $ 189008 (5) 12. Jerome Quelin $ 187333 (3) <snip> 55. `/anick Despite `/anick being in a lovely 55th place, I really dislike this table for two reasons: 1) It does not encourage participation; quite the reverse. If this were the definitive ranking list, I would not have entered tpr03 and Jasper would not have entered tpr04, for example. 2) One or two tournaments proves nothing. In cricket statistics, for example, you typically have to play at least 15 tests before you are included on any statistics list. Hell, there are thousands of golfers who could boast a lower stroke average than Tiger Woods if they just submitted their best round or two. In Perl golf, it is worse because you can lurk and submit on the last day only if you are performing well. /-\ndrew
