So overall for the weekend I was 5pts down

The fact that I work full time and analyse takes a long time leads me to two possibilities

1) I pay for an analytical service
2) I design a quicker way of analysing data

I am tempted to go for option 2, considering option 1 will cost the earth. The major package I have seen is called Formlab and cost around £100 per month. It looks amazing; but hopefully with a revamp of my spreadsheets I can obtain data more quickly and in the form I need it.

I missed lots of opportunists on Saturday and Sunday, because I could not do the analysis quickly enough and detailed enough.

So in the next month or so I hoping to complete my new spreadsheet called 'stat atttack' so watch this space
