The running record
Every figure below is cumulative — computed over all resolved calls up to and including each card, never one card on its own. A cumulative rate settles as the denominator grows: read where a line sits alongside its denominator. Winner covers every resolved call; method, round and underdog each have a different and much smaller base, printed beside each one.
Hit Miss
10 of 24 — 42% now, from 50% at their first scored card.

The opening point is drawn dashed and hollow: below 5 scored calls this rate is not yet a reliable figure.
