We're all big boys,, grown men really so we can take being eliminated in front of the group, which is how it wa...

let me explain what we're doing. We're running a battle top event. We turn tops on wood lathes they bang into each other and fall down one by one causing the finish order. 20 -30 people.

Re: How's it work mathematically ?

Re: How's it work mathematically ?
ok I follow, sorry there's no data to give you since we haven't run it. I might be able to dig up data on pervious single arena outcomes, but truthfully I don't want to take up your time with it. Ok so I know you've heard this one before. (A quote "bad lane") If the process ie: lane choice...
