Hi!
I don't want to buy into this argument on either side, but your assumption in this case about the field size being taken into calculation is just wrong.
True the average field size maybe 10.37 but it can be made up of countless variations in field sizes between 2 and 24. (unless you want to include a one horse race as well, they DO happen).
Good luck |
