Sion "Brummie" Scone, continues this seasons analysis of Clapham Ultimate and their run up to WUCC 2014 in Lecco, Italy.
Previously, I wrote about how much potential I thought Clapham have in 2013, tempered with the fact that they still have work to do if they want to have an impact at WUCC, to avoid a repeat of their disappointing results in 2006 & 2010. With this in mind, I watched footage of their games vs Ring & Ironside, to find some insights into the question posed by Pichler recently as to how big the gap is, and to work out whether that gap is being closed by the efforts of Clapham, and if not, what they need to do to achieve their aims of a semi final berth at WUCC.
Statistics:
Firstly, let's look at the stats (note: "Scoring %" differs slightly between O and D lines; it is the number of goals scored / number of points played for O, and the number of goals scored / number of points where the D line forced a turnover for the D line. The number of possessions required to score a goal are therefore irrelevant for this stat... a deeper look could get into this in more detail! I wanted to ensure that this statistic reflected the scoring rate where each line had the disc):
The results are pretty interesting. I posted the scores for Sub Zero's final-winning game in order to provide some comparison.
