This graph shows Ladle participation by the number of teams included in the brackets per month. The stats are recorded on an xls spreadsheet by hand, and the generated graph is uploaded via screenshot. Note that teams that appear on the brackets and fail to show up are counted as well as teams that do not sign up officially (before the deadline) but enter late via one of the ~bye~s. A team is not counted if it appears on the sign-up list and is disqualified for not having enough players, withdrawing, etc.
Fun facts:
The largest Ladle was Ladle 47, July 3rd, 2011, in which 20 teams battled for the top!
The smallest Ladles, Ladles 2, 5, 7, 8, and 15, all consisted of only 4 teams. In Ladle 5, one of the teams did not even show up!
The First Tronic Bowl was played on June 7th, 2009.
Global statistics are an attempt to record the results of Ladle from beginning to end based on the brackets. The stats are recorded on a spreadsheet by hand, then attached to the current Ladle thread as it is updated. Teams should periodically take time to review statistics for accuracy.
The Ladle participation timeline is an attempt to visually display the participation in Ladles by fortress teams. Teams existing for a single Ladle are largely ignored. The timeline is compiled by hand. Lighter shades in the column of a given team designate significant periods of absence.

Data
Please update the list by adding yourself or revising it (participation & final wins)
This data is used for distributing Ladle servers. Some judgement is still required when distributing, so this is not an exact guide. (For instance; Z-Man's server should only be used for the opening round.) Explicit feedback about performance is collected after each Ladle to fill the chart below, usually in the form of a (+/-1) in a post. It is a good idea to double-check and see if the poster actually played in the server. Posters cannot vote a server up or down more than one point. Scores reset on location change (check IP). Six months of data is sufficient to rate a server and stops the table from getting bloated with dead addresses. All servers start with a score of zero. If new servers are added to the Challenge Board use them before ones with negative scores.

Server scores decay over time in order to minimize major swings in feedback. The current formula is this: s1(.4)+s2(.5)+s3(.6)+s4(.7)+s5(.8)+s6(1) CALCULATOR
