Fix the banner. Advertising as "Hattrick for Basketball" won't take you anywhere.

uh oh, back down to 19428


Yeah, not nice to see.
The US fell 5 index points in less than a month.
For reference, when I started tracking users on Aug 17th of 2015, I pegged that as the baseline, and called it 100 for World, US, Rest of World, and Utopia.
(I'd track the other countries, too, if I had more time, but alas, I don't)

Anyhow, so over the course of the past year, the World has slowly moved down to 90.77 index points. A little more than a 9% decline. Take the US out of that number, and it actually only dropped to 91.20.
The US was at 90.01 a month ago, but has since dropped to 84.73, which is one of the steepest declines I've seen.
I wonder if it has to do with the NBA playoffs ending around that time roughly.

90 to 84 would be about a 80 team decline. If I did my numbers right.

Nice!
It was a decline of 75, to be precise.

I wonder if looking at percentages for the US is useful, is the sample size too small? How many people did the US lose, 10, 20?


Ideally, it'd be best to break out the components of growth/decline for the largest countries, as they are probably moving the needle the most. Then, you can also have an aggregate for the remaining countries to see what they are doing as a group.

I only have the US number since it's been one of the three numbers I've been tracking weekly since I started doing this on Monday mornings. It's only about 6% of the total user base, so it'd be awesome to have the weekly user info for the bigger countries to get a clearer picture of which countries are declining the most (both absolute and percentage-wise), and which may even be holding steady or increasing.
