How many players from each province are in the top 100 in Canada (Feb. 5, 2013)? What is the population of each province (2011)? How many (players in the top 100 for a province) / (population of that province)?

BC 21 4.4 million 1 in 209,523 people
AB 9 3.6 million 1 in 400,000 people*
SK 12 1.0 million 1 in 83,333 people
MB 3 1.2 million 1 in 400,000 people*
ON 18 12.9 million 1 in 717,666 people
QC 36 7.9 million 1 in 219,444 people
NS 1 0.9 million 1 in 900,000 people

Removing the outliers, NS (population too small) and ON (population too large), the province that is under performing is Alberta at 1 in 400,000, whereas SK is outperforming at 1 in 83,333. Who is responsible for racquetball in Alberta?

John Halko, president of the Alberta Racquetball Association, and Barbara May, government liaison, receive a failing grade. If they were running a corporation I would not feel confident in their competence. The data does not lie!

* The next ranked player in Alberta is Cam Bourque 125th in Canada. But Manitoba has an additional 11 players ranked from 104 to 121. As you can see Alberta Racquetball is suffering under the incompetency of Barbara May and John Halko big time!
