I recall keeping FF stats for many years, even in Homes where there was not much if anything to report. But I was never involved much in FF'ing, nor of course did I live in any "top" FFing Homes.
So I do not know of any detailed reports, nor did I ever hear of any such thing.

However, I am sure most Family members remember that in the heyday of FFing, every Family Home's TRF had a section for reporting FFing stats. As I recall, this consisted mainly of how many times you had been FF'ing, how many times you had actually had sex, and how many men you prayed with. "Times FFing" was a pretty broad category- sometimes that meant actually going to a bar or lounge or something looking for men to witness to, sometimes you'd count anytime a woman witnessed to a man and there was even a hint of flirting or using any kind of feminine charm. It varied widely, as I recall, from Home to Home and field to field.

They would then publish the stats periodically, including an average FF soul stat reached by dividing the number of times sex had been involved divided by the number of souls saved.
The stated goal, of course, being to win a soul each time you had sex.

If I remember correctly, later on there was a differentiation on the stats between sex with new "fish" and "established" fish. Also, after FFIng was banned, there was still a stat for sex with those "fish" who were deemed established supporters or outside members and so still allowed to "share."
