200 Players - The Stats

Back in September, I reached 100 players that I attempted to connect to Matt Stairs. I put together some stats that offered a fun glimpse at what kind of success I was having. Now that I've done 200, I'll post the same set of stats, and see how things have changed over the course of 100 posts.

Lifetime Record: 182-18 (91% success rate)

This is the exact same success rate I had in September! The law of averages may be taking a quick hold here!

1 Degree: 9 (up 2 from September)

Over half of my new players were either 2 or 6 degrees.
