Analysing the data of which trap the winning dog came out of in the Finals is very interesting. :sweating:

The data shows that the inside trap produced 3 winners, the 2 trap produced 3 winners also and the other two traps had a single winner each. So it is possible to state that the inside traps favoured the winners.

When considering the runner-up positions, the inside trap produced 3 runners-up and the 2 trap only 1 runner-up. Three runners-up came from the 3 trap and only a single runner-up from the 4 trap. Showing a slight skew to the inside traps. :blink:

Now the question is should the inside traps which may offer an advantage to the runners be given to those who have won their semi-finals (as a benefit for winning the semi) or given to the runner-up from the semi-final – to even up the final? :wacko:

Or should the traps be drawn for to add randomness to the Championship Final?

we could use the balls each round not just the final that would add randomness ?

The draw is out of the hat so that already is random.

The semis are based on the heats so they are also semi random.

Its just the finals I'm asking about.

I'm all for randomness, but how will that effect seeded runners? Or does the seeding not count on a bend? I forget :wacko:

The fact that you are drawn to race in the first race is therefore random.

The fact that you may win (or get runner-up) in the first race - gets you into the red in the semis - this can also be consider as semi random as only dogs drawn in the first race can get the red coat in the semi. But this could be changed.

At the mo the balls in the bag draw for the final adds randomness to the final.
