Statipstics - part I

All of the stats below cover the 37 games played before the weekend.

People:
6 people tipped every single game (and on time!): well done Jens, Mark, Matt, Paul, Soren and Ben.
16 people tipped 80% or more of the games, so thank you to everybody who put in the effort. :-)
The least consistent tipper was Greg, who managed to tip just 6 matches. He actually has the highest points-per-game ratio, but with so few matches I'm pleading a lack of statistical significance as an excuse to ignore his stats. ;-)
Alex J was the 2nd least consistent tipper, missing 20 of the 37 matches.

Points:
The best game for scoring points was Netherlands - Mexico, giving a total of 134 points. With 6 people tipping perfect scores, and 10 other people tipping the correct winner, the only person who didn't gain any points from that match was Greg - who didn't submit a tip. Counting only people who sent tips, on average 7.44 points were scored per person in that game.

The worst game for points also involved Mexico.
Their game against Brazil yielded just 7 points in total, with Ralph gaining all of them for his 1-1 tip.

Perfect Scores:
Brazil - Colombia saw the most perfect scores (7), while there were 6 perfect scores in three other matches.
Several people achieved 5 perfect scores during the Tipster, but only Ben achieved 6. Jens had the fewest - just one.

Winners:
As a group, we were most successful at tipping the winners of 3 matches: 19 people tipped the correct winner of:
- Brazil - Croatia (19 people, only Ralph was wrong)
- Netherlands - Mexico (19 people, Greg didn't tip)
- Germany - Algeria (19 people, Greg didn't tip)

Paul was best at tipping the correct winner, getting it right in 29 matches, meaning his success rate was 78% for the matches he tipped. Alex J actually had a success rate of 76%, but he only tipped 17 matches, which makes one wonder how well he could have done if he'd actually tipped every game (especially considering that he won the 2012 Tipster). Andre also achieved a 76% success rate, but more impressively he did it while tipping 33 of 37 matches.

Footnote: Paul also tipped the correct winner of Brazil - Netherlands, giving him a success rate of 79%.
