NAF Tournament Stats

For you stats freaks like me... attached is a spreadsheet that shows all the NAF tournaments, when and where they were held, the number of NAF coaches playing (i.e. at least one NAF ranked game) along with a nice summary page showing the totals for each country by year.
It looks like, even with the World Cup and 484 coaches, this year is actually smaller than last. Perhaps the economy is taking its toll? Or perhaps we've peaked. So there are fewer tournaments with fewer attendances, that said there is still about 60% growth since 2007 which is enormous. The biggest areas of growth would seem to be France and Australia.

Ian, not sure if it's just I'm looking wrong, or if I'm looking at it correctly, I've noticed a few errors.
ARBBL Open 2008 2nd Coming is listed as 2011
ARBBL 2009 is listed as 2004
ARBBL 2011 is listed as 2009
Also noticed same sort of differences for Albion Coast Cup. The tourney date is correct, but the Year column is wrong.

Not in my version. Are you using Office 2007?

I find Open Office doesn't perform well with Excel, even simple ones (it used to screw up my TT league table).

Open Office also screws with the Halfling Scribe Cook Book. At least for me and a few in my league it does anyway....
Anyways.... Always good to look at numbers and spreadsheets.

You have to save the file in a particular format (straight away before it gets messed up). Cant remember which one without having a fiddle about though... try experimenting with a few logical but non-default save options.

I will point that out to my league players if/when they fall afoul again, cheers.
But I will continue to use Office XP which I didnt pirate years ago............. I dont advocate piracy in any form....... It seemed easier than having to fiddle with options
