[PDSL] Have you looked at your Player Stats & Graphs?

Dear PDSL Member:

We hope you are enjoying the Spring 2012 season of professional, long format darts. Below you will find helpful information on how to get the best PDSL experience, and how to use various features available to you on the league member's website.

We also encourage you to follow Doublecork on our Facebook Page and Twitter - we send out numerous updates during the season via these channels.

*** PDSL MEMBER'S WEBSITE -  NEW PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED to open an account on the website to gain full access to league data and their personal statistics.  To open a new account, CLICK HERE

There are some features on your "My Stats" pages that you may be unaware of, they are described below.  To access player progress charts, you must be logged into your account on the league website, then on your "My Stats" page (see link on left side menu) you will find a links to stats and other info across the top of the page including one labeled 'Graphs".

Notes about Graphs:

1: A trend line has been added to the PPR chart which is a moving average over five matches that displays how the player PPR is trending.  The trend line will only be displayed if the player has played six or more matches
 
2, Chart - "Points per Round per Leg Played": This graph correlates the number of legs thrown to the match PPR across the last forty matches. The number of matches played with each leg count and the specific average PPR for those matches can be viewed by hovering your mouse pointer over the respective bar. 

How to read this chart: Each individual bar will display a stat line such as "X legs, Y matches, Z ppr" which indicates how many matches in your last 40 lasted that many legs and with what ppr.  This may help you notice your differences in performance over longer match lengths vs shorter matches.

If you have any questions about these player charts, please post in our league forums, click here.
