Thanks for the proofreading, Brian!
I stand corrected. Roadrunner has been added to Belgium above, and you missed Pete (Pcmvr), who's listed under the American players above.

Re: 2011 Zapper Tournament Reports
Well, I think we can all agree on at least something: We ALL miss Eugene's witty reports! Grabmyack just ain't the same without them..... To try and make up for them in just a little way, here's a bit of Zapper Trivia! The 2010 Zapper Memorial Tournament had twenty-one players, from eight different ...

Re: Winning percentage
However, it's even more important to take into account the average rating of your opposition along with your winning percentage, really. For instance, I have a 88.01% with 780 games, 649 wins, 75 draws, and 56 losses.. But the average rating of my opposition is only 2140, and my rating is only 2668 ...

Re: Winning percentage
Hmmmmm....I think I know this one! Divide 100 by your total number of games, so in your case, Josh, we have: 100 / 739 = 0.1353179 Then multiply by your total wins (455) plus your total draws divided two (198 / 2 = 94.5), so 455 + 94.5 = 549.5 Multiply 0.1353179 by 549.5 and you have 74.357186 For a...
