2003 WORLD TANTRIX CHAMPIONSHIP PERFORMANCE BY COUNTRY
The tables below show the overall performance of each country with players in the main draw in the whole of the WTC main draw so far, then split by round.
Please click here for a brief explanation of how the positions have been calculated and why
(NB. If "shocks" are equal, the positions will be decided by the overall % of matches won and then by the number of players left in the draw)
The positions by % of matches won will appear only at the end of each round (at the end of the tournament for the overall table)

It is reasonable to suggest that this method for ordering the teams is not entirely fair to NZL, whose players in many ways dominated this year's WTC and which had the highest win%
of any country with more than one player in the main draw. Their -5 'shocks' score simply reflects the fact that they have around half a dozen really strong players (including 5 of the
top 8 seeds) whose were unlikely ever to be in a position to score shock wins, always being the 'favourite' in their matches, but hardly any up-and-coming stars capable of beating
a strong player. This has been remarked upon before as a reason why the group phase of the NZ Championship is always so predictable. Anyway, they may like to look at the positions
based on %wins instead. For other countries, the positions go quite close to reflecting the subjective impression of which countries had a better or worse than expected WTC.
