Good logic. Actually, I haven't suggested a theory yet.
There are some guys, e.g., Zinkunegi, that are just uniformly
high. Don't know how to peg them yet. But, how WOULD you describe
a player that had a high Win/ITM ratio vs. one with a low ratio?
There is a strong correlation (top to bottom) of Win% to Win%/ITM%.
Meaning: top percentage winners are also top Win vs. Place+Show
ratios. I'll publish some data after all the opinions are in.
Where you say game 'point', I think game 'zone' is more what I
meant. That is, game is reachable, so the 'factor' is activated.
Your alternative cause is viable, too. We'll never have enough
data to test it, though.
My approach to analysis is simplistic, but powerful, at the same
time. All assumptions have to be validated by published data,
so if I cannot deduce it from the entries/results and stats, then
it doesn't exist.
I suppose if you were at the fronton(s) charting every throw and
catch, then we could go further, but we don't have that luxury.
Published results are the only way to get mass amounts of analyzable
data.
