ET7 round one

Well that came about fast, had a bit of a moment on Monday when I really wasn't paying attention to anything, then saw that a Players Championship had finished which I forgot was going on, so Tuesday was catching up with that, the Tuesday one, and then three regional tours to go with that as well. Yikes. Thank fuck that didn't happen when my eyes were shit or that could have been a nightmare. Still, Woody got his first title finally, so well played to him, I'll do a FRH ranking update after Riesa is done, but for now, we'll go through the first round projections.

Ryan Joyce v Jeffrey Sparidaans - 64/68/66/66

Connor Scutt v Finn Behrens - insufficient data on Behrens

Madars Razma v Gyorgy Jehirszki - no data on Jehirszki

Andrew Gilding v Bradley Brooks - 65/62/44/57

Cameron Menzies v Michael Unterbuchner - 57 (only long data on Unterbuchner)

Ricardo Pietreczko v Maik Kuivenhoven - 31/34/44/36

Karel Sedlacek v Johan Engstrom - 71 (only long data on Engstrom)

Niels Zonneveld v Keane Barry - 62/66/67/65

Dave Chisnall v Liam Maendl-Lawrance - insufficient data on Maendl-Lawrance

Kevin Doets v Tom Bissell - 65/62/62/63

William O'Connor v Paul Krohne - 80/73/76 (no short data on Krohne)

Joe Cullen v Chris Landman - 79/79/73/77

Dirk van Duijvenbode v Rob Cross - 61/62/59/61

Krzysztof Ratajski v Cristo Reyes - 58/59/51/56

Niko Springer v Charlie Manby - 53/55/51/53

Daryl Gurney v Kim Huybrechts - 31/30/42/34

Few seriously periodic changes to note there. Brooks being favoured over Gilding over the long period is kind of standard as the medium period started more or less exactly when his form fell off a cliff. Kuivenhoven being favoured over Pietreczko in more recent samples is not a surprise, but on the long one is a little bit off. Gurney only being close to Huybrechts in the long sample I think is more indicative of Kim picking up form hugely over the last six months or so.

Kind of want to do a bit of a deep dive on van Veen since the worlds, but that'll have to wait until next week.
