Unless you know the number of decisions for each individual PR, you don't stand a chance doing a correct average. Other wise you're just doing an average of averages, which is not very useful.

Even though you have that info, there's a big difference between short and long matches, so calculating one PR average across all matches is something that should be done with precautions. Maybe a short match average and a long match average would be useful.

Comparing averages is another yet thing. Some players play more really long matches than others. Some play very short matches that goes into the mix as well. There are also players that participate in DK vs World DMP matches, and have those included... DBgF players will have a very high number of 17 point matches, as an example.

So, if you calculate any sort of PR averages, you should publish it along with a match length measure (avg. match length at minimum).
