Blimey. Just done the correlation - JCC's table actually does go some way

in explaining current league positions!

Correlation between points per game of each teams' opponents have got (in their other games), and points each team has got, is -0.3.

So put simply, on average, if your opponents have been 'good' so far, (ie have got lots of points in their *other* games), then, on average, you've got fewer points so far.

(If the correlation was 0, then difficulty of opponents would have not predicted how well you'd have done so far.)

Good work JCC.
