Statistics... always a funny topic. :-)
Consider 3 programs, A, B and C. C is much weaker than A and B.
Now A wins by 11-9 vs. B and wins by 12-8 vs. C. Then B wins 15-5 over C. The
table looks this way:
1. B 24pts
2. A 23pts
3. C 13pts

A wins both matches but has 1 point less than B.
What is the conclusion then? ;-)
