Statistician’s Notes

(Pulls 17 thru 29)
19 November, 2000

Corrections
To Previous Report

Pull 15 at Swampfest on Oct 7^th, 60# class.  Because of the data written on the finish report, I reversed the lineup of Kindr & Diamond.  Debbie sent corrected data that substantiated the original lineup.  Kindr is 4^th and Diamond is 5^th.

Errors and Corrections on My End

Max – owned by Wayne Mullins.  Mistook the name as May when I entered the data on pull 25 at Arcola.  It has been corrected.

Requested Changes

Maya owned by Amy Morris in region 6.  Changed to Mia as instructed by Toni Yoakam.  Note: Mia was involved in name assumptions below.

Sarah owned by Toni Yoakam, region 6, was handled by Diane Krupski at Lake Placid Oct 22nd.  I had assumed Sara was a new dog owned by Diane.

E R R O R S

Pull 26, Arcola VA

80# class – Kodi, handled by Toni Yoakam, was left off of the finish report.  Kodi placed 8^th.

Name Assumptions

For the following entries, the name spelling (bold) used is that in the database.  Listed is the pull number and how the name was spelled on the pull sheet (underlined).

Maya – pulls 17 & 18, Kalkaska, Mia

Lady Charm – pulls 19 & 20, Lake Placid, Lady

Kodi – pull 20, Lake Placid, Kobi

Kodiak – pulls 21 & 22, Virginia Beach, Kodi handled by Doris Mow.

Atom – pulls 21 & 22, Virginia Beach, Adam handled by Dave Coleman.

Sitting Bull – pulls 28 & 29, Hartford, Bull, handled by Charlie Johnson.

New Dogs

Almost all dogs are going to be new this year.  I will only list the questionable dogs here (looks like they could be the same as someone else's dog).

The following dogs were entered as new dogs.

Sitting Bull – Region 6, Charlie Johnson, Am. Bulldog.  On the first day of the Arcola pull, it definitely looked like bitting Bull; but on the second day it was clearly Sitting Bull.  I went with the latter.

Assumptions

King – Region 6, at 2^nd day of Lake Placid pull handled by Shirley Webber.  Assuming it was Toni Yoakam’s dog as she had already handled 2 dogs in the 60# class. (confirmed)

Diamond – Virginia Beach, 1^st day.  Handled by Charlie Johnson, but assumed Sean Harrison’s dog.  Sean was on the financial sheet with one dog, but didn’t show in the finish reports.  On 2^nd day, there was a notation indicating Charlie was handling for Sean.

Ringo – Arcola, 2^nd day, 100# class, handled by Sean Harrison. Assuming Charlie Johnson’s dog as Charlie had already handled 2 dogs in that round.

Bob Schrom – assumed it was Bruce Schrom that handled Hank at Hartford Nov 4^th.  We have a Bruce & family (no Bob listed) in membership from the same region (5) and Bruce was the only one listed on the financial sheet.
