Ten top tens following the tenth COLIN

Post by Ben Wilson »

As will come as precisely no surprise to anyone, over the last ten years I've organised COLIN I've kept meticulous statistics from all the events and figured now is as good a time as any to share some of the findings from these statistics. Naturally, in keeping with the 'ten' theme, the top tens concerning players also include stats from this year's hangover as well.

7. Lee Fisher 40
8. Dinos Sfyris 37
9= Dave Coulthurst 36
9= Jeff Clayton 36
9= Jim Bentley 36
(okay, not quite a top ten, that one)

Ben, this is excellent.

Excluding "Prune", how many different players have played at COLIN over the 10 years (including the Hangover, which I presume adds 1 to the total)?

I imagine it was quite difficult to get both the past and future stats so kudos for that.

I couldn't think of a way to say 'including people who hadn't yet been on the show at the time of the event but who would subsequently become octochamps/series champs' that wouldn't cause the line to wrap around on most screens.

Matt B- 136 in total, including the hangover. Of these, 59 have only played in one event, which raises to 66 if you count COLIN X & the hangover as one event (which I personally don't). 12 people made their COLIN debut this year. :)
