Stats

Here's yet another attempt to break down scoring in DDC, into common ways of throwing out and defensive mistakes. Most of the categories are self-explanatory. I considered a "bail" to be any disc that a player lets land in, for any reason - they may have thought it was out, or were concerned about getting doubled. In general I set the bar high for the defense - a team is expected to escape everything unless a clear winner was thrown.

We lack a bit of statistical significance here since the stats come from just two games. For me at least, the hot and humid conditions made me a bit less comfortable with my two-finger burn since my throwing hand was soaked in sweat (hence the towel tucked into my shorts). Wind conditions were pretty good, which is reflected in the relatively small number of leads and rally shots thrown out.
