STATISTICS by Dr Teo

Ever wondered (of course you have) who are the best corporate teams in NZ..... obviously luck of the draw and simply winning a regatta just isn't enough. Well, here comes the

These league tables are based on consistency of race times (in 4 out of 5 races) averaged over at least two major regattas:

PWH Coopers

Speedy new kids on the block! 3rd at Lake Pupuke (Regionals) in which they were improving with every race, then 5th (as 1 of only 2 corporate teams to qualify) in the National Championship Grand Final. Impressive, most impressive.

One to watch next year! Very, very, VERY unlucky not to make the runner-up final at the Nationals. Jumping up the league from 10th to 4th place.
