The big picture
158 years of the belt, by the numbers
1,641 belt games have been played across 246 programs and 332 reigns since 1869.
Copied.
Every number here comes straight from the lineage the rest of the site is built from — the same source as the records page and heartbreak list — recalculated on every rebuild, not on a separate schedule. Rank ties aren’t broken; a reign or program tied with the one above it is noted as tied rather than assigned a false edge.
