The following list displays the armies used in all included events. It should be noted that for the purposes of this table all scores are converted to the  10-0 scoring system (NB 32-0 scores are divided by 3.2).Draws are games that result in a 5-5 score. All other matches are considered as a win or a loss.

Higher: This relates to matches by players with more than 2100 ranking points at time of the match

Average: This relates to matches by players with between 1900-2100 ranking points at time of the match.

Lower: This relates to matches by players with below 1900 ranking points at time of the match.
