    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.1k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 219 winners against 261 expected — a real stretch for a count this size. That is usually the crowd: numbers less popular than average thin the higher tiers most.
