Guiltless Players Per Capita

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 07 Jan 2009 11:14

Which nation on earth has the highest guiltless players per capita? Players in general per capita?

I'm nominating Canada for most (active) guiltless players in relation to our population......approx. 30 guiltless player/approx. 30 million people= 1 guiltless player per million....not to shabby!

Can anyone else match this????

Poland? OZ? Finland?

And furthermore....why is this the case? Why do certain nations seem to have so many more players per capita?

When you say OZ, I hope you're talking about the magical land of OZ and not Australia.

In Denmark we have 6 million people and probably 7 - 10 guiltless players.

finland would be high up there, but i think it's probably poland.

I think we got this one, since Finland has only some 5,3 million people, but a good number of skilled active freestylers. I guess maybe 5 / million isn't too far from the truth.

Only 30 in canada? Seems like there are more to me...not enough to boost our ratio however

There are 38,5 million people in Poland, so it would be hard to beat Canada with our ratio

We have about 30 guitless players I think, so that would give a ratio of 0,77922077922077922077922077922078 players per million.

On my Island (Tasmania) we have 1 guiltless player for 500,000 people. I have always thought that's terrible, but it turns out it's a better ratio than many big footbag places around the world.

I think the players per square kilometer is important to...it makes it easier for lots of shredders to show up to a jam or tournie. This is where Canada feels the burn.

For example:
Poland : 304,465 Square Kilometers/30 Guiltless players = 1 player per 10,148 sq.k.

Canada: 9,900,000 Square Kilometers/30 Guiltless Players = 1 player per 330,000 sq.k.

330000/10148 = 32.5 ish

So Poland has 32 times more Guiltless players per square kilometer.

FTW. I would have listed Finland as one of the contenders to begin with, but for some reason I thought more people lived there! Seems like you guys might take it!

I thought modified wasn't suppose to count in ADDs?

This is a pretty interesting idea. Would need an accurate census first. For instance, are there really only 30 guiltless players in Canada? If that's so, NYJ just had like 20 - 25% of the Canadian guiltless population.

I think England is 0 per million ha! or at least 0 guiltless players who make themselves known (although I think there is a player who is living up in Scotland for a few years, not sure of his level though)

i hope to get guiltless soon though!
