Some uses of the statistics page on-line

[Michael Maul <Michael.Maul@nsc.com>]

I posted the following note to the CT region e-mail list and thought the 
use of the tables might be worthwhile considering as a topic of discussion
at some other regional conventions coming up soon to see how their regions are doing.

An observation to be drawn from the CT regions stats from our on-line database
info at

http://www.doublejoy.com/rides/AnnualStatistics.asp

is that the number of rides is down by 12% and the number of riders is down
by 15% in 2000 compared to 1999.  It also looks like 1999 was a big year
for the CT region where both rides and entries were up 25% compared to 1998.

we can also see that the number of LD riders is 36% greater than the number
of riders in 50s for the 2000 season.  The number of LD entries is also
more than the 50s in the SE region - probably due to the attention paid
to LD in both these regions.  In 1999 - CT region LD rides were only 15%
greater than the 50s.

Interesting points to think about. It might be worthwhile looking at
these statistics before the CT convention.
