Re(1): #103 - Are game warmups meaningful?

Posted on August 1, 2005 at 10:10:19 AM by Perry

When I was relatively new to the game, I used to watch the warmups, trying to see who looked sharp and who didn't. While I didn't keep stats on it, it seemed to me that the guys who looked sharp in the warmups didn't win any more often than could be expected through random distribution, so I stopped paying attention to the warmups.

Maybe you could spot something in the warmups, like a guy having trouble with his cesta, but overall I don't place any importance on what a player does in the warmups. I prefer to watch what he does in the games.
