Phew! I just completed the yearly stats update for all our managers. This is something i do usually only once a year and it takes a good 3-4 hours to complete. What i basically do is, i update all the stats of our top level managers. The only managers i update are managers who are competing in GAMMA and have won a GAMMA title at some point in their GAMMA career, everyone else is excluded, because it is pretty much impossible to update everyone.
I have been doing this update for over 15 years now and frankly speaking, it is what keeps me interested. I generally love my stats and history and legacy is probably the most important part of the game, comparing the best of today vs those of the past.
Our scoring system is as follows:
4 Points for Win
4 Points for title fight
2 Points for draw
1 Point for loss
Note: Super fights are also worth 4 points, however i do not record them in the update, because it is very difficult to separate such fights in all the data, so i update those during the year on the all time manager list.
Anyway, lets get started!
I would like to start with our NEW ENTRIES! These are managers who managed to win a GAMMA title in the past 102 events (note: I updated the stats from the previous update, which was GAMMA 1044 until the latest event which was 1146). Our new champs are:
Akira Shigeru (140932)
Freak Ja (141668)
Blue Aurora (141089)
Zuc Nibali (131958)
Johnny Marquis (13920)
Among these new entries, Akira Shigeru (140932) had the best year. He ended up with some crazy stats, 26-10 record with 11 of his fights being for the title! His winning % of 72.2% for the period is actually the highest among all managers, even though his total fights of 36 is significantly lower than the fights some of the others had.

It is hard to say who had the best year, Points is a hard one to compare, because there is some managers who had 100 fights and others on the list who had 20 fights. The same applies for winning %, it is hard to compare people who had 2 or 3 times more fights as it is much more difficult to be consistent over a long period of fights.
But, titles, that is a different subject! More title fights means more overall success, so i would say it is between Hare and Action, they essentially won as many titles (Hare had 35 vs 34 title fights for Action), Action won at a higher winning %, but Hare brought in the most numbers, so i guess it between those 2. In the head to head record between the 2, over that same period (Only including the GAMMA fights), Hare was 4-2 vs Action, so lets say that Hare deserves the win :-)
