Zone Cup 2014: Stats and Analysis

http://dekor-okno.ru

 

 

December 13-14

 

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

 

 

 

 

Here are the results of my compiling of the scoring statistics collected from Zone Cup 2014. The score sheet is missing from the 5-6th placement game meaning that I have the results from 7 games played by each of K, Spoilers, Halo Halo, and Swarriors, but only 6 played by HHH and Monsoon. Sorry. I also excluded statistics from the third-place placement game because it was silly and would have made it such that Swarriors and HHH played more games than K and Spoilers. Easier to ignore it. I also excluded goals thrown and caught by players from other teams who picked up with Monsoon.

For tournament-wide stats I included the top ten or so players. For team stats I included the top players for each statistic before there was a significant drop off.

Mistakes are the result of recording errors, bad data entry, or Excel errors. I, therefore, take blame for some and not for others, though I am not sure which are which. The analysis is mine alone.

Those who know ultimate know that scoring and assist stats will not tell you the whole story. I believe they do tell us a few interesting tales though.

A full tournament write up is up right here!

Names are spelled as they appeared on the score sheet.

 

 

 

 

*26.3% of Spoilers goals were thrown by their women, but running seven women all weekend, they individually don’t end up higher on the table. 19.8% of K goals were thrown by their women. No other team had more than 5% thrown by women.

 

* Not bad for Dyno’s first foreign team tournament.

* Dan Bower only played one day.

 

*Only 1 of Angie’s goals came against me.

*Goals scored by women: Spoilers 37%, Monsoon 35%, Halo Halo 31%, K 28%, HHH 28%, Swarriors… less.

 

*K and the Swarriors each had a group of clear statistical leaders. The rest of each teams’ stats were more evenly spread out.

Combined Assists and Goals, Women

* Due to their depth and overall quality, Spoiler stats were very well spread out. Angie participated in 18.4% of Spoiler goals. This is, by far, the lowest of all those leading their team in combined goals and assists.

 

Assists, Men

*29.5% of Halo Halo goals were thrown by Drian.

Combined Assists and Goals, Men

* 5 other men had between 8 and 11 combined.

*With Drian throwing 18 goals, you had to think a bunch would end up in Lien’s hands.

* 37.2% of Swarriors goals were thrown by Heng.

 

Goals, Men

* 34.9% of Swarriors goals were caught by Dyno.

*Trissy and Canh accounted for 42.5% of HHH goals

 

Combined Assists and Goals, Women

* I believe the HHH stats are a very good example of a case where the stats do not reflect how the team played. Women played a large part of how HHH moved through the middle of the field, if not necessarily around the endzone.

 

Assists, Men

*Aaron only played saturday.
