If you also give a prize for the highest luck factor, I'll enter!
One of the cool things about this competition is the data that can come out of it provided someone is willing to take the time to put together the statistics:
1. What percentage of the time the player with the lower PR rating wins at each match length?
2. What is the range of PR for a given player-- how high and how low, and how does the median PR for all matches he played compare with his average PR?
3. What is the correlation (or non-correlation) between the player's Giant rating and his PR?
4. How each player's cube PR and checker PR's compare?
5. What percent of all moves are errors and what percent are blunders?
6. Which player has the least number of blunders?
7. Which player had the best errors on the first 3 moves and were those also the same players with the lowest PR's overall?
8. Who was the best strictly in terms of checker play?
9. Who was the best strictly in terms of cube errors?
10. I would love to see a list of all the blunders made by all players...don't need to know who made them...would just like to see what plays were missed by top players.
Some day I would love to see my favorite competition as a side event at a tournament. It is something I invented called "Challenge Gammon." Each side makes his play and the other side may challenge the play and propose a better one, and then a bet (or points) awarded on who had the better play. The winner of the competition is not the one who wins the match or game, but the one with the most points from challenges. This is a great exercise to sharpen your game, by the way, and if the two players are not of equal skill, you can work out some kind of a handicap system.
