Footbag Demographics Survey (CLOSES MONDAY MORN)

Post by C-Fan » 02 Sep 2010 10:43

Inspired by the "average footbag player" thread, here is a survey intended to get some data on what the average footbagger is like.

1. Are you Male or Female?

2. How old are you?

3. What country are you from?

4. How much do you weigh?

5. How tall are you?

6. What is your race?

7. What kind of shoes do you play in?

8. How often do you play?

9. How many tournaments a year do you attend?

10. How long have you been playing?

11. Do you play regularly with others?

11.a. If yes, how many on average?
11.b. How often do you play with others?

12. How many footbags do you own?

13. Are you guiltless?

14. Is your native language English?

15. Do you have interest in playing net?

I will eventually compile results and come up with an average.

Thanks Mathieu, I appreciate you saving me the work. :wink:

In all seriousness, while I know it's tempting and fun to put witty answers to the questions, it also makes it harder for me to compile data. So if you want tot put a funny answer, go for it, but also put the real answer in the same line.
