About Canstats (How are the averages calculated?)
------------------------------------------------

Tournament results from all Horseshoe Canada sanctioned tournaments or events
are submitted to CANSTATS (our national stats center) and entered into a common database 
from which pitchers "3-Hi" averages are calculated.

The Canstats average is based on the 3 highest tournaments pitched by a member
during the last 12 months, or last 10 tournaments, which ever comes first. 
That is done by dividing the total ringers pitched in the 3 highest tournaments by the 
total shoes pitched and the result multiplied by 100 and carried 2 places past the decimal. 

The Canstats average is used in most tournaments to seed players into various classes.  
Results from Canadians who played in US events are also included in our database.
