Here's my LCR summary for roundup

                         Tot      Bad            Bad                                    Total    Score  
 Contest  Year   Q's     Call    %     Exchg     %      NIL    %        %     Reduction
Roundup 2013  1723     1     0.1%     3       0.2%     7    0.4%   0.6%     1.90% 
Roundup 2102  1620     6     0.4%     2       0.1%   12    0.7%   1.2%     2.30% 
Roundup 2011  1402     1     0.1%     4       0.3%     6    0.4%   0.8%     1.30% 
Roundup 2010  1372     3     0.2%     1       0.1%     9    0.7%   0.9%     1.80% 
Roundup 2009  1238     5     0.4%     1       0.1%     7    0.6%   1.1%     2.00% 
Roundup 2007   679      1     0.1%     0       0.0%     3    0.4%   0.6%     2.18% 

If you chose to compare your rates, here are some observations.
HP has higher error rates than my LP summary as HP stations get more weak callers
Running gives more errors than S/P (Don typically has more runs than I do)
I can't prove multiple decoder profiles helps much as it looks like my error rates
are pretty consistent (went to multiple decoders only for the last couple of years).

I assume the NILs are pure errors on my part, wish I knew what I did as they always seem
to be the majority of my errors.  I don't track uniques as I typically only have 1 or two, 
which I guess is from being in a well represented state/section.
