Check again. 10-0 gets better than 99.9% confidence for the winner to be better. 60-40 has about 95% confidence. To calculate confidence, you assume the null hypothesis, which is that the result is NOT significant and is a random occurrence between equals. You calculate the probability for that, and subtract from 1 to get confidence. Amir >I have no idea why. > >bruce
