Scorekeeper Update – Averages
The starting averages are different from last year’s ending average. You will recall we used the prior season’s averages in addition to the current season to calculate a fair average since last year there were wild swings in averages at the beginning of the season. In order to do the same this season, we need to drop off the prior season that we had included and start with the average for the previous season only and these numbers will be added to this season’s numbers. Otherwise we would be adding stats season after season.
