2020 Tennis Season - Poll Results

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

For those who are interested in thus sort of stuff, I have run some stats on our events / polls to date, makes interesting reading!

Champion of Champions Event (this was the 8 man, 8 woman knockout event of top slam champs) - 190 votes place over 14 polls - average of 13.6 per poll

Favourite British Player (the mixed event across current Brits) - 252 votes across 9 polls - average of 28.0 per poll. This was the highest average and clearly driven by the mixed nature of the event.

Wimbledon Invitational (16 men, 16 women, Wimbledon knockout event) - 499 votes over 30 polls - average of 16.6 per poll.

Favourite ATP and WTA players (this was Brits and foreign current players) - 432 votes over 22 polls - average of 19.6 per poll

Favourite Foreign player (current ) - Indy ran this and took us up a notch with 570 votes over 28 polls - average of 20.4 per poll

Favourite British (former) player - Brittak ran this and the sheer scale of this still makes me go into a cold sweat! - 1020 votes were cast (massive) over 48 polls (incl play offs) for an average of 21.25 votes per poll. Hats off for the scale of the event and it was also very popular!

Favourite Foreign (former) player - the one I then ran and tried to match Brittak with, but failed! 785 votes over 38 polls (incl tie breakers polls) at average of 20.7 per poll

Overall we have managed 3748 votes cast over 189 polls in total the past few weeks, an average of 19.8 per poll. The current favourite of favourites polls will have at least 11 and take us to 200 in total which is great. There is a chance we can reach 4000 votes cast in total if it is well supported and/or we get a few tie break play offs as well!

Either way, nearly 4000 votes is a great level of support, many thanks to everyone and please do support this next week so we can actually say we reached 4000!!!

Would also be satisfying if the average was over 20 at the end! I think that's a stretch but you never know!

The hardest bits are the early round polls when you've got lots of players and need to draw and set them up. Later rounds are a doddle...!

Round one polls up, nine groups of 6. Round of applause for first person to spot what the 9 group names represent

the addict · Tennis legend

Some tough groups there - I could do with around 24 votes I think.

You're on the right lines. Dont link players to groups, just the theme of the groups...
