Statipstics - part II

Best Points per Game:
Alex J scored the 2nd most points per game that he tipped, averaging 5.76 (Greg achieved 6.33 in his 6 matches).
Alex K, Ben and Paul all averaged more than 5 points per game and tipped pretty much every single game too; Franz averaged 4.97 from his 31 games.
The median score was 4.23 points per game tipped.

First Scorer:
In 22 of the 37 matches, none of us managed to tip the correct 1st Scorer. Three of those games ended 0-0, but that's still 19 matches where all 20 of us failed.
8 people correctly tipped Dzeko to score first in the Bosnia & Herzegovina - Iran game, and 7 tipped Messi to score first in the Nigeria - Argentina game.
Ben and Paul both tipped the correct Scorer in 5 matches; Joris and Stephan have not yet successfully tipped the Scorer, but hopefully they will have more luck in the last match of the Tipster.

Closest time, aka 'luck':
Both Mark and Stephan tipped the closest time in 5 matches. It's interesting that Stephan had such contrasting luck with the Time of the goal and the Scorer of the goal.
Andre and Joris were unlucky in every single game: unlike Stephan, Joris was unlucky with the Time, and also unlucky with the Scorer.

Franz was the least accurate at tipping the closest time: on average, he was wrong by 39.6 minutes. This didn't stop him being closest in the Belgium - USA game though, just 6 minutes away.

Excluding Greg's 6 matches, Joris actually had the closest average throughout the Tipster, wrong by just 24.6 minutes; despite this, he was never the closest, which probably makes him the unluckiest person in this Tipster.
Mark, who was closest in 5 matches and tipped the exact time twice, had an average discrepancy of 28.7 minutes from the actual time; Stephan's average discrepancy was 27.4 minutes. They each gained 15 points from their tips for the Time, while Joris, with a better average, gained zero points.

The exact time was tipped in 6 matches, whereas the worst winning time was wrong by 47 minutes: Ben's standard tip of 45 minutes was closest to the 92nd minute goal in the Germany - Algeria match.

Goals, Goals, Goals:
The most goals were tipped in the Brazil - Mexico match, with a total of 63 goals predicted.... and that match finished 0-0. :-)
The fewest goals tipped were for the Bosnia & Herzegovina- Iran game, with just 24 goals predicted.
54 goals were tipped for Germany in their game against Algeria, more than any other team; this fixture also had the highest predicted winning margin, as only 7 goals were tipped for Algeria in that game.
The fewest goals tipped for any team were for Bosnia & Herzegovina in their game against Argentina: just 6 goals were predicted for the Balkan team.

Submitting Tips:
Thanks to all the people who managed to spell their own names incorrectly. That always makes me smile. ;-)
And a special mention for all the novelty names used by people when signing their tips: Duke, Deaconinho, Admiral  Lord Viscount... and a few others. :-)
