Well Chris, very interesting stats.
Never would I have guessed that only 11% of all SOAB entrants 
operate more than 30 hours.  We are a very small group, indeed!
I hope this lines up okay.  Group = hours of operation as per Chris' email.
group         Pct / group           cumulative Pct
42-48             1.92%                 1.92%
36-42             3.21%                 5.13%
30-36             6.15%               11.28%
24-30             7.85%               19.13%
18-24           11.81%               30.94%
12-18           18.82%               49.76%
 6-12           25.31%                75.07%
  0-6            24.93%              100.00%
I think (know) that all of us "serious" ops owe a real debt of gratitude 
to the 25% of entrants who operate less than 6 hours total.  
And equal thanks to those who put in 6-12 hours who make up the
second 25%.
Without these 2 groups, contesting would be really BORING!
