In particular, the very hard-to-read raw data is worth looking at: @http://sca.org/scacensus2010/PeerageOptions.xls

The summary of results and slide-show provided to the Board are somewhat misleading, so I'm providing raw data here.

Key figures: 17,821 surveys completed.

16,446 people answered the screening question:  "45 - Should SCA participants be able to receive a peerage  for excellence in non-armored combat or other martial  activities."

Anyone who didn't answer the screening question "yes" were not asked any further questions.
