Also, in last weeks' blog, I may have incorrectly quoted our overall win/loss percentage. In an attempt to rectify that, and to see what chance we have of winning tonight's big game, here are a few quick Popped Collars win percentages.
Popped Collars, all time
This is a few percent less than I quoted last week. The mistake was because I didn't have the most up-to-date database of stats available, and was trying to remember results of our most recent matches - I clearly over-estimated how well we had been doing.
If we play exactly one game per week, our 250th match will be on November 25th.
| Matches | Wins | Losses | Percentage |
| 243 | 162 | 81 | 66.7% |
All teams, all time:
This table includes matches played by 'GG'.
| Matches | Wins | Losses | Percentage |
| 266 | 179 | 87 | 67.3% |
Popped Collars, in finals:
"Finals" includes both Semi-finals and Grand Finals. We do better in finals than we do overall!
| Matches | Wins | Losses | Percentage |
| 13 | 9 | 4 | 69.2% |
Popped Collars, Grand Finals
Our past Grand Final appearances include 2 back in our original stint at Weston, 1 at Lyneham (which would have been 2 if we'd been financial), and 2 at Kaleen, both against the Gold Diggers.
| Matches | Wins | Losses | Percentage |
| 5 | 3 | 2 | 60.0% |
Grand Finals at Weston
Back in the early days, there were only ever 3 teams in contention for the title. Over the course of 3 seasons, all combinations of those 3 teams played in a one GF. Only one team won two competitions...
| Matches | Wins | Losses | Percentage |
| 2 | 2 | 0 | 100% |
Games at 6:50pm
Certainly our players enjoy this time slot, because it is convenient. But does it translate into extra victories?
I was initially surprised by the low number of 6:50pm games - but then realised that the former Weston competitions didn't have that time. They only had 3 matches per night, with the first one at 6:00.
| Matches | Wins | Losses | Percentage |
| 17 | 12 | 5 | 70.6% |
Games against It's On Like Donkey Kong
This is the first time we have been in a competition with this team, so this table shows our head-to-head results for this season.
| Matches | Wins | Losses | Percentage |
| 3 | 2 | 1 | 66.7% |
Weeks that there is a blog
Since many claim that the blog is inspiring, let's test that. The results in the table below show how we have performed when a blog post was published 3 days or less before a match.
| Matches | Wins | Losses | Percentage |
| 77 | 51 | 26 | 66.2% |
Good luck!
