Polo data part 2

I have two long term goals for this project:
1. Create a spreadsheet that allows folks to easily input their own tourney data.
2. Create a database where all these numbers and the source material can live, allowing for easier tracking over time.

Bike Polo Stats

I was very impressed with the large number of female participants at Hallowmeme III, and decided to take a page out of Emily's book and run the numbers. (If you want to see her previous analyses, go here and here.)

This project got a bit out of hand.

Why it's important: once you start analyzing the data, people think a bit more critically about their actions and how they affect the status quo. This impact study from the Geena Davis Institute is my inspiration.

Here are the raw numbers for the past 3 tournaments I have attended:

Hallowmeme (Grand Rapids, MI)
  • 79 players
    • 24 female [30.8%]
    • 55 male (1 trans male inc.) [69.6%]
  • 27 teams
    • 2 all female
    • 11 all male
    • 14 mixed gender
      • 4 female majority
      • 10 male majority
  • Podium: 2 female majority, 1 all male
    • 44% female, 56% male
Toot Spooky Halloween (Seattle, WA)
  • 25 (ish?) players
    • 3 female [12%]
    • 22 male [88%]
  • 7 teams
    • 4 all male
    • 3 mixed gender, male majority
  • Podium: 2 all male, 1 majority male
    • 11% female, 89% male
Ballwacker's Ball (San Francisco, CA)
  • 72 players
    • 11 female [15.3%]
    • 60 male [83.3%]
    • 1 nonbinary [1.4%]
  • 24 teams
    • 2 all female
    • 17 all male
    • 5 mixed gender
      • 1 female majority
      • 4 male majority
  • Podium: 3 all male teams
    • 100% male
Hallowmeme saw gender parity on the podium, with 4 women and 5 men, while there was only one woman on the Toot Spooky podium and none on the Ballwacker's podium, although the BWB podium is not particularly comparable since it was incorrectly grouped and played out.
