Season 2007/08 in figures
The tables below contain information about the strength of teams and boards fielded in the league competitions this season.
Cooking the books
In order to interpret the figures you will want to know the basis of the calculations:
Team totals are calculated after the minimum counting grade has been applied to defaulted boards, ungraded and low graded players. In division one defaulted boards have been counted as 120. Estimated grades have been used where these appear on the site.
For individual boards, a minimum counting grade has been applied to defaults and ungraded players, but for lower graded players their grade has been used.
The difference in the treatments described above means that in divisions 2 to 4 the sum of the average grades of the boards is less than the team average. All averages have been rounded to the nearest whole number, and this accounts for the difference in division one between the average team and the sum of the average boards.
Defaulted matches have not been included in the calculations.
