A few overall statistcs from 1999

These are more or less ad-hoc: I'm not claiming that they represent a rigorous study. I think the numbers are accurate (otherwise I wouldn't send them out) but the conclusions are just observations, nothing more.

1. Unique boats registered for races as shown in results:

Race boats						REC boats
----------						---------
K-1     K-1W    C-1     C-1W    C-2     C-2W    C-2M  	K-1Rec  K-1WRec C-1Rec  C-1WRec K-2Rec 
1631	754	614	89	164	34	110	529	120	54	5	14

2. Number of race runs completed (e.g. not DNR or DNF or DQ):

Race boats						REC boats
----------						---------
K-1     K-1W    C-1     C-1W    C-2     C-2W    C-2M  	K-1Rec  K-1WRec C-1Rec  C-1WRec K-2Rec 
3105	1430	1132	159	292	62	196	898	188	84	6	14

3. Number of boats ranked in each class:

Race boats						REC boats
----------						---------

397	159	129	19	50	12	41	328	84	36	3	12

4. Participation (e.g. #1 divided by #3)

Race boats						REC boats

4.1	4.7	4.7	4.7	3.3	2.8	2.7	1.6	1.4	1.5	1.6	1.1
Statistics used in rankings, by year:

While I'm not familiar with everyone's name on either of those two lists, one thing kinda jumps out at me: nearly everybody listed there lives in one of two areas: northeast/New England, or Texas. (I'd also like to point out that I guessed Mark Poindexter would be at the top of this list before I even ran the stats. If I have to type his name any more frequently, I'm going to make it an editor macro. ;-) )
