Just so we follow formal 'sampling theory' here.  IE we do _not_ want to pick
a good result by Junior without picking all the bad results.  Easier is to take
these Rebel games and other acceptable games as they are played, rather than
going back.  Because to sample backward you have to include _all_ the data
points, else 'cherry-picking' will greatly bias the result...
