Think big - Part 2

We saw in Part 1 of this paper that there is an undeniable link between the size of the travel teams and their placement in championships after an x-best "mode. Larger travel teams here have a systematic advantage, so that is no longer guaranteed just that, ultimately, the athletic fittest. Placed in this system due to a good blow, which also has a relatively large travel team better before the impact with much smaller travel team.

This tendency is universal! This does not mean that all placements of a championship, especially if we consider only a small group of breeders (for example, at RV level), reflect this clearly. Individual placements are subject to natural variation and there are many very good shots, which deserves due to its outstanding travel service on the first place to find, even if they have a great travel team. Their placements would would not deteriorate even with a different mode. And that's a good thing! For a change of the league system away from an x-best "mode may never have the objective that the best now receives less chance than all the worse.

On the contrary, aim to update current "x-best" modes can and must be to make the championships, instead, so that actually the best sport gets the best chance to be also high, with even more luck, the success of the fittest is. Only then will we have a championship in a competition will be fair as possible, and wins in the sport. Only then is the top ranked really a masterpiece! And therefore should be interested in a change actually all friends of this sport. The truly masterful strokes need not fear a change here, they can look forward to even insisted that meet all future competitors on a comparable footing.


Yet this is a change in decades Germany is not well-maintained championship modes easy. Most breeders also have many small travel teams are so accustomed to it, a change can not even imagine and want. It is also a way that is so associated a discussion within a zip, or FG RegV always with controversy. And in this controversy, many breeders simply have no desire. Here these two defensive reactions from the perspective of someone descended from EXISTING breeders and it will be forgotten completely that today more than ever comes to adherence to think about the people who could be in the future breeder.

Let's really our hobby an attractive and fair "sport" even though we are to play along the front, with a winter population of less than 50 pigeons have only very limited opportunities?
we really thought, the prospect had to stocks beyond 100 birds for many interested in our hobby no deterrent effect?
think we really interested in the possibility of a strike at any facility of over 8m in his front yard had to place?

who actively opposes a change of "x-best" modes is, I believe in positive cases too lazy and uninterested to think about the future of our sport. In the negative case, especially if he is currently a large Travel team near the top is in the "x-best 'Championship, he has just fear of increased competition and the impending loss of cherished sinecures. Such impacts are, however, then no true champion! A true master need not fear this change.


In my RV, the actual RV Cup is being flown to the mode of the RV-championship of the association with eight before each flight vorzubenennenden pigeons, a good approach. There are, however, beyond this, however, still a championship "x-best" modes in the championship years, the female championship, the young birds Championships and the former RV Cup, which today RV Cup Championship is called. For some, the RV Cup championship is still the "real" RV Championship. In the following I would like to examine the basis of concrete data from my RV by the example of the "top 5 pigeons' Cup championship, the real situation of" x-best "modes on RV-and for their consequences very clearly.

The results are exemplary, but certainly valid not only for those looking RV. I am sure that similar evaluations will result in almost any organization similar trends. Every reader is invited to check like this:

Figure 1, we already know from part 1 of this blog article. It was here but the placement of all strokes of the size of their travel teams compared and shown every beat with a period (detailed explanation see Part 1). From top left to bottom right of this declining trend points cluster in turn, indicates the context that even in this place the larger RV shocks better. But beware! This alone does not necessarily mean that one can deduce from this great shock would have a systematic advantage. The view in Figure 2 illustrates why:

If we represent the travel service all clubs in relation to their size, we see that in this RV actually provide the beats tend to be larger, the better travel services. The trend in Figure 2 displays the lower left to upper right, and thus confirms this relationship. Thus, one explanation for the better placement of many of the larger shocks is easy to see her actually improve athletic performance. And this should be overlooked in any case!

However, we remember that we highlighted in our considerations in section 1, only the top 8.4% of all strokes and thus comparable in their physical performance group. Only then can it be clearly shown how an "x-best" mode effect! Figures 1 and 2 but we have ALL shots entered the observed RV. It should therefore come as no surprise that just blows success looser hold possibly a result of the failure resulting from the lack of incentive fewer pigeons. In addition, a few strokes the journey prematurely, and thus take a back seat, of course. So if we want the consequences of an "x-best" mode light, we must also belong here, first of all to similar shocks.

For this reason I have seen in Figure 3, all hits with an above-average travel service (more than 40%), have also denied all the flights took place. These were 11 beats of 43 Schägen, so roughly a quarter of all strokes of the RV. Because of the difficult journey in 2010 with two hot weekend and a very heavy 600 flight three more strokes exist with a travel service of more than 40%, but two or even three flights are not fed, and thus could not be included in the analysis:

As in Figure 2 in Figure 3, the travel services of beats in relation to the sizes of their travel teams have been set. And I must honestly admit that I am the uniqueness of the result has surprised myself. For even here, when viewed of only these 11 strokes, that is a very small sample reveals the same Ergenis as indicated in Part 1 for more powerful strokes of the regional association: There is no relationship between performance and size eien travel shock. However, this is a little chance, because with only 11 strokes could it be possible that a slight trend would have in one way or the other may be identified. A single most successful and at the same time very large or very small impact does not affect in such a small sample of holding more. Overall, however, at RV level to be expected was that not a very clear correlation between size and travel service is, as long as we look at basically comparable punches.

If we now add these 11 strokes, as in Figure 4 according to their rankings in the 5-best-pigeon championship, we see here a very clear trend. Again, the shocks with larger teams are much better placed. The rankings of these 11 strokes extend from position 1 to 14, since among the first 14 places still are two big blows, but below the observed 40% mark with their travel service were (at position 15 also was a blow which only 10 12 flights fired).
The tendency of our RV promise greater by about 3 pigeons team improved by one place ranking in this top 5-zip .Pokalmeisterschaft pigeons.


The conditions here are thus in the tendency completely identical to the previously considered RegV Championship: Even really successful shots show a "5-best-doves' Championship a place of very influenced by their team size and is determined not only by their travel service!



As I write again and again that a set number of dependent mode improves this situation significantly, it is now time to check this as well. For the considered in Part 1 Master RegV me such an analysis because of missing data was not possible. About 30 years ago, corresponding to 5 counts about one-fifth of the larger travel teams. A mode in which each 5 pigeons in the travel team, a counter will be considered, seems to me that is indeed a reasonable request.

So I have now determined the placement, which would have covered every beat, if ever commenced 5 set a dove pigeons would have been regarded as a counter. The results for the first 15 places shown in Table 1 "Breeder 1" means in this table, the breeder who was in the "5-best-doves" championship in 1st place. Arising from the different Counter number resulting price figures for the counters (normalized) of better comparability, the equivalent to 5 pigeons

initially notice that the first three masters remain unchanged despite the different mode. Here have thus already in the "5-best-doves championship actually places the top three strokes ahead. In particular breeder 1 showed such a superior performance, that he could distance themselves from the rest is still sovereign. Although he brought 70 animals, a rather large travel team on the first flight at the start but this team was in their width significantly better than the all other farmers, which is also reflected in the highest travel service.

could add at this point premature critics of my argument that I have altered nothing. But nothing could be more wrong than this, because here Einzelergebniisse can not be used as a counter-argument for an overarching trend. We must also consider a larger amount of shock. Let's look at the other positions in Table 1, it is clear that it has even done a whole lot. An outstanding example was at this point to the "breeder 14" reference, which have risen by as much as 9 seats up to 5th place. He was one of only 20 animals travel previously, despite good trip and good luck with his performance counters to blows, the "suffering" under its small size.

is much more clearly the fundamental change that sentence number-dependent mode, however, if we look once more just considered 11 beats corresponding to a view as in Figure 4:

The rankings cover now only on the ranks 1 to 11, which according to the selection of these shots (the largest travel service, participation in all flights) fits into the real power that is fast approaching the rest of the RV. Moreover, although the first three spots remained the same, but yet there is no clear tendency in the direction of better placement due to increased travel teams more. The trend is now at this championship level. Exactly this should be achieved: Comparable opportunities for all!

that still the top three spots remained the same, is a good thing. It just proves that these blows were truly the best. A mode change will eventually not have the objective to really "sell" the best from the top. It also shows that the really good shots need not fear the introduction of a fairer set number dependent mode instead of "x-best" mode.

Another positive effect of a set number dependent championship mode should be mentioned file. Although domierte in this RV a blow to competition, but the blows were apart on the places 2 to 11 in the "x-best mode" 20% (48 to 40 prizes for the counter). In the new classification, the margin between sites 2 and 11, only roughly 12% (43.4 to 38.5 Rates for the counter).

This means that the margin between positioned shock due to a set speed dependent mode compared to a "best-x-mode is much smaller, so the championship for a greater number of punches until the final open. Lastly, the distance between the beats now determined only by the true differences in performance and it does not still further by the size differences of the travel teams.

In our example, the shock of the place including 11 now within striking distance for second in the championship. Something motivated then surely a few strokes more than previously to enforce until the end of the season. For example, "Breeder 15" and 20 to the breeder positions 4 and 5 were higher than they decided to set the trip to only 10 flights. Whether they would have left on the last flights their pigeons at home is more than questionable.

But even if we frame the positions of all the blows of the RV in the record number dependent championship is considered, this "moving together" clearly visible. In Figure 1, a trend led to a pitch of 1.014. Under the new championship mode, this trend would mitigate to 0.5062, almost halved. But as we consider here all the blows of the RV, the less powerful hold in the RV as is also rather smaller travel teams (see Figure 2), are still a lot of hits with small teams travel to the rear seats. And this is worse because of their athletic achievements and rightly so. But has their distance to the top is reduced, and it seems to me not unlikely that this can be highly motivating to the concerned farmers.

Contrary to the argument that the abolition of the "x-best-modes could be harmful for the RVen, there may be fewer birds would set was their effect is positive for the RVen. For as the field of competitors coming closer together, fewer farmers are discouraged prematurely set to travel. And it is the number of breeders, which ultimately is essential for the financing of transport, not the number of pigeons! In addition, farmers who can realistically achieve something even more satisfied.

The effects of switching will show, however, hardly spontaneous full. For decades, practiced behavior is not forgotten overnight. But as has been repeatedly written. Such activities may not only be considered solely from the perspective of the actual breeders, but also against the background of how we want to make our sport to potential buyers.
