Here is a crude but accurate Google spreadsheet summarizing the 2013 "Task Mix" in the US (SSA sanctioned).

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

OVERALL 2013 US Tasks
Total # of Tasks 209
Turn Area Tasks 142 68%
Modified Assigned Tasks 60 29.00%
PURE Assigned Tasks 7 3% (YES, that says 3 PERCENT! 7 total AT's in the US in 2013.)
* Many of the MAT's were the infamous 1 turn MAT!

2013 US Nationals Tasks
(includes 15/18/Open/Standard/Sports/Club)
Total # of Tasks 48
Turn Area Tasks 28 58.33%
Modified Assigned Tasks 15 31.25%
PURE Assigned Tasks 5 10.42%
* All 3 of the 15/Open MATs were ONE TURN MATs
* 2 of the Sports/Club Nationals MAT's were NO TURN MATs.

Is 3% Assigned Tasks OVERALL and 10% Assigned Tasks in US Nationals the right tasking mix?

I for one would like to see FAR more pure Assigned Tasks in 2015 and beyond. What is everybody afraid of again?

Sincerely,

Sean

PS - 3% total assigned tasks in the USA in 2013? Really???????
