Also Nats was in California so 90% of Redemption players couldn't go
So 10% showed up in CA. I heard it was about 100 (plus or minus a few). Let's just use 100 for calculation sake. That means there are 1000 Redemption players. MN had the highest turnout in 2005 at about 260+.

I need an exact count so I can make a more accurate precentage. Otherwise I can just throw out whatever numbers I like:
YMT, although no one can provide exact counts for everything, I am surprised that a math teacher would be so dismissive of the power of statistical sampling.
However, your data (as you stated) does not defend the negative generalization he attempted.
I think those stats are amazing. Sure, CA didn't have the worst turnout of all time, but isn't that just because (according to those statistics) about two thirds of the players were local RLK's?
I'm not saying Redemption is only for srsbsns, but when looking at Nationals attendance, you have to think about how many actually had a chance at placing in anything, not just how many there were.
In 2009 there were 220 ... players ... with T1-2P RNRS pointsIn 2005 there were 275 ... players ... with T1-2P RNRS points
Another ... math project would be to find the RNRS-weighted geographic center of the Redemption playing universe.

That means that either less people are playing, or the winners are winning more consistently.Quote from: EmJayBee83 on January 27, 2010, 11:58:58 PMAnother ... math project would be to find the RNRS-weighted geographic center of the Redemption playing universe.I think this sounds like a GREAT project. I'd be interested in hearing the results.

but then there are whole playgroups who have seemingly dropped off the map.
