SASO Participant Data
May 24th, 2015 08:35 pmI'm someone who loves statistics, so I've taken it upon myself to organize some data on how well represented different fandoms are within the SASO. I've broken this down both in terms of number of teams per fandom, and number of participants associated with each fandom. Below is the data as I have organized it.
( Onward to some statistics! )
What does all of this mean? In the end, whatever you want to take away from it. These numbers function roughly as a popularity sampling of the fandoms nominated to the SASO (and it's therefore worth considering which fandoms were nominated without finding representation by a team), but it is my personal opinion that they do not entirely accurately reflect the popularity of each nominated fandom within the participant base of the SASO.
But hey, hopefully this was an interesting read for someone besides myself! More statistics potentially forthcoming (if I remain ambitious) as the SASO progresses.
