The table below covers competitions held between Oct 98 and the end of Dec 99. Again my main source of information was the World Wide Web, and the competitions were generally held in either the UK or Australia (if anyone knows a good web page for US competition results, I would like to know). The competitions involved a total of 1367 players, or teams in the case of doubles, with know armies (and 40 unknown). This is up over 50% from last year - which probably means I've found more results on the Web, rather than many more or larger competitions are underway. A third of the results were from limited period competitions (i.e. those where a restricted set of lists is used). If the competitions only has very broad restrictions (e.g. 2 or more army books) then I count it as unrestricted.
The probability of success figure represents how far up the rankings the army came in the competition results. In other words, the army coming first in a competition gets 100%, the army that came last gets 0% and the rest are spread evenly between.
