How to read it

The stacked bar chart shows:

• X-axis: Years (from 2015)
• Y-axis: Number of players
• Colors: Activity levels (lighter = casual, darker = intense)

Color gradients are derived from each competition type's base color, allowing easy visual identification of the selected type.

• Tournaments (T): 1 participation = 1 tournament attended, regardless of the number of matches played
• MiniLeague (M), Interclub (I), Friendly (C): 1 participation = 1 match played

Activity levels:

Players are categorized based on their participation count per year:

• Casual: Low participation (occasional players)
• Regular: Moderate participation (consistent players)
