Re: NAFC 2014 : Winners & Final Standings
I'll get proper pics of my team this week.
That's two NAF Champs and two Best Painted awards. I expect next year will be tougher again

Re: NAFC 2014 : Winners & Final Standings
I was having a play around with the spreadsheet this morning looking at average ranking per race. Nothing particularly surprising there but it got me thinking.
Is there any tournament that pitches teams of races against each other? So perhaps teams of 3 with final results then taking the average tournament ranking of those 3, add a few handicaps due to tiers and opponents faced etc. Logistically it sounds a nightmare but seems like a fun (and fair?) event.
My maths is so appalling my calculation from the NAF results placed Goblins in 1st place just ahead of Lizardmen and Halflings (ignoring the High Elf who only had 1 coach) so if anyone knows how to do this calculation please let me know.

Re: NAFC 2014 : Winners & Final Standings
Interestingly, the Eurobowl does approximately this, as most teams choose from the same 8-10 races (slight change this year), so you have one player of each race making up a team, and they compete against teams made up of approximately the same races. If that's what you meant...

More Halfling teams than any other race apart from Wood Elves, I declare the Halfling Challenge a resounding success!

Not quite. Each team has to have the same race.sann0638 wrote:If that's what you meant...
So using Eurobowl example - Team England coaches all chose Human, Team Wales all chose Halfling etc.

Re: NAFC 2014 : Winners & Final Standings
On the races tab you have lizardman twice, one with 12, one with 1. And the total comes to 162, I think you've added an extra dwarf team to the total.

Based on my post above, I think this is right, but there might be a couple of small errors.
This is a list of the average position each race managed (rounded to 0 decimal places):

Re: NAFC 2014 : Winners & Final Standings
What if you remove geggsters nurgle, who played only 1 game I think? They bring the average down as there were only 2 nurgle teams..

Re: NAFC 2014 : Winners & Final Standings
I love stats like this.
I really boosted the ogre average. (I was phanom nin)
Point of interest though, my team was set up to actually try and win (well, draw) games, while other Ogre teams are sometimes set up to cause lots of casualties.
2nd point of interest: Did having so many of one stunty team cause the figures to be skewed?
3rd point of interest: Where the hell were all these stunty team when I was fighting off hordes of Undead, Lizardmen and Orcs with just a snotling at times.
