I calculated the relative strengths of the sections from the International Challenge games, and determined the relative strengths of the individual players. I used zero as the standard, so the lowest player was rated a zero, and all the other players were rated in comparison to the zero player(s). Across all the games of the tournament, using zero as the standard, the sections performed as if the players were rated: Continue reading »

Last weekend the 4 nations polocrosse cup took place at the “Dop heets Del” in Kootwijkerbroek, Holland. The “best” players from France, Germany, Norway and Holland played against each other in sunny Kootwijkerbroek. This as a preparation for the World Cup in 2011 in the UK.
Exciting games were played, starting with the first game on Saturday France vs Germany. It was immediately clear that the Germans had a very strong men’s section who played as a real team and their no.1 player Max Scheller played brilliant and scored most of the goals for the Germans. But also the German ladies section played strong and played as a real team. Their defense against the strong Henson horses was good. Continue reading »
