The role of chaos theory in sporting competitions is little known. Take some recent disorderly results from the AFL for example. The Dees ("Ra! Ra!" says Sir Lord Harper) have won 2 in a row, which is more than the number of goals that Freeo could score in 4 quarters last weekend. The Saints have won 15 consecutive matches, but the Cats have lost 2 in successive weeks. It's worse than trying to beat the call on the toss of a coin, an analogy which was statistically matched by our top 2 competition leaders who merely broke even while muddy60 and bluesgal nearly took the cake with 7 each. Even librarytart, who's name has never been mentioned in the same breath as any football code until this year, is beating the odds into 5th place. Chaos, you see! Sheer oval pandemonium.
