CANSTATS REPORT – Sam Tomasevic

 

I would like to thank you for allowing me to do Canstats this season, its always fun, at times headaches but fun never the less.

 

As in previous years Canstats has been used for those players who entered the Canadian and or World.

 

One thing I would like to point out at times in the discrepancy of Canstats %’s compared to those that own the shoes program.  Please keep in mind that Canstats is only updated after I receive a number of results from various provinces.  Those of us who use the program send updated %’s to our tournament directors, those clubs receiving these are more up to date than Canstats has.  The two, Canstats and the shoes program should not be considered to me the same.  The dates change when I update Canstats and unless I’ve received an update from the various provinces a players average may change and will be different than what is in the shoe program.  Canstats like any other program is not perfect and does do some odd things at times.

 

One of the problems that does occur is when I get messages from players questioning their averages or wondering why I have not included their latest results.  Well that’s simple, I need the provinces to send me the results on a more timely bases.  This does not apply to all Provinces as some are excellent while others are slow.

 

That’s my report.  I would welcome the opportunity to continue as being the statistician if the executive so choices.

 

That’s for your time, I wish I could be with you.  Good luck to all the competitors.
