Nice update, and I agree that you should finish out the tournament and then analyze things. One other thing you might want to do is calculate the normal statistical variation you could expect to see based on probabilities.

Sometimes things can seem skewed in your results, and they might be statistically improbable, but they are within the statistical variance you can reasonably expect to see based on probability theory.

In other words, even in those real life games, theoretically there was a statistical probability of the combined score being considerably higher. If enough of those instances happen to occur over a stretch of games, then you might see results similar to what you're getting.

You might be getting an improbable result, but it's likely within the normal realm of statistical variance.
