UTL percentage

It's been a while since I came up with a new poker statistic, but playing SNG NLHE 18 (my abbreviation for sit and go no limit hold'em with 18 entrants) has inspired me. I submit UTL percentage for your consideration. UTL stand for "under the lights", which is literally where you are when you make it to a final table; in the PokerStars software, lights similar to those seen on televised poker shows are displayed above the final tables. UTL percentage is the rate you make it under the lights. My current UTL percentage for SNG NLHE 18 is 72 (31 for 43).

Actually, attentive readers will realize I haven't come up with a new poker statistic after all; I've simply renamed an old one. I used to call this FTP (final table percentage), but I like UTL percentage better.
