Alternative curling GP 2018
For interest in statistics and curiosity, I have looked at an alternative curling GP (partial).
I made a ranking based on average for the actual top 10 of the Curling GrandPrix for the 2018 tournaments, until 2. may 2018.
I divide the points in GP with the number of tournaments played by each. The average rank is:

Players name-points GP:tournaments played=average

1-WINSTONPHD-68:4=17.00
2-GABRIELAMIHAELA-265:16=16,56
3-SPORTURSALF-129:8=16.12
4-WIND-158:10=15.80
5-GO B-217:20=10.85
6-FINN PETERSEN-110:12=9.16
7-AIYANNA-113:13=8.69
8-COYACAN-166:20=8.30
9-NOTJOHNSHUSTER-147:19=7.73
10-DAVINFR-139:19=7.13

Kind regards

Are you suggesting that good old FOD have it wrong?   Should they do it more fairly?  
Dear Wullie, I immediately think it will be fairer, but in this case there must be a minimum number of tournaments played in order to participate in a "average GP", let's say 30 tournaments out of the approximately 70 that can be played a year (more fair). PS: I have previously made a similar suggestion in the forum.
you have done a very good calculation Anna

9-oewan...-193-59-3.2

some players are not included, because they played less than 20 tournaments out of aprox 66 tournament x year, and not constitute a valid basis in my opinion. 
As an example, WinstonPHD has participated in 10 tournaments with 112 GP points and an average of 11,2. But it's from 10 tournaments only...
