The B/G ratio- it’s science
When working out which European festival we should attend, there was only one sensible solution from Dr Gepetto……
Let’s get scientific about this. While both destinations will not disappoint as far as quality goes, let’s be honest, while quality over quantity is important…..quality AND quantity is simply better!!!
We should calculate the B/G ratio for each tournament (B/G ratio: Bush to Griffin ratio). It’s a very simple valuation ratio of a tournament’s potential female attendance compared to the number of touring Griffs.
Example - with 13 touring Griffs, should the following tournaments host the following numbers, we will see how their B/G ratios compare (a high B/G is good):
Kiel - 6 touring ladies teams x 14 players = 84 divide by 13 = B/G 6.46
Konstanz - 8 touring ladies teams x 14 = 112/13 = B/G 8.6
Duesseldorf - 7 touring ladies teams x 14 = 98/13 = B/G 7.53
Hertogenbosch - 10 touring ladies teams x 14 = 140/13 - B/G 10.76
We can immediately see that Hertogenbosch would be the most suitable tournament.
VC and Numchucks, please report back with the expected B/G ratios for each of these tournaments so that planning may commence!!!
Yours in bush tactics,
Dr Gepetto
