Scorecard Review – December 2013

2013 is over.  As we start 2014 it is time to take a final look back at my performance for 2013.

December

With it being the holiday season in December I did not expect much, especially considering how Thanksgiving reduced the number of events I was able to attend.  I did manage to put up some reasonable numbers.

In December I was able to play 12 games at 6 events for an average of 2 games per event.  This is the lowest number of games per event since July of this year.

I only won 3 games in December compared to November.  I came in second 4 times, third 4 times and fourth 1 time.  My average standing for December went down again to 2.25 from the 2.20 I had in November.

I did not play any games more than once in November.

I played eight games for the first time in December:  Blueprints, Boxcars, Cornish Smugglers, Coup, Kashgar, Paperback, Ticket to Ride Nederland, and Wildcatters.

My stats for December are:

Final Numbers for the Year

The total number of games that I played from April to the end of December was 148 games at 60 events for an average of 2.47 games per event.  This is down 0.05 from our last review.

I won 30 games since I started recording my stats in 2013.  My final standing for 2013 was 2.49 which improved 0.02 from the 2.51 I had at the end of November.

It appears I had fairly solid numbers for the year.  For the Scorecard review in January we will reset the stats for 2014.  As the year goes by we will compare how I do in 2014 to how I did last year.
