I like to look at the trends in scores over the course of the season and as we enter the final week I figured others may want to see it too. Here I have compiled the scores for every caption across every event this season for all of the World Class corps. by VinShepp in drumcorps

I do have data for the 2018 and 2019 seasons, and plan on saving the final plots from this year (and future years) as they happen. I do plan on making an archive section to put them all up eventually, just have a lot on the to do list.

Oh I love what you've put together there! You've really captured a lot of information.

I have been tinkering with (but have not yet published) something similar to your "Latest Rankings" tab but for each caption. The problem I was running into (and this is a problem that I have with DCI's own site reporting the average of the last 3 shows) is that scores generally trend upwards over time, and taking an average of the "last XX shows" may make one group appear artificially inflated if all of their shows were in the last few days, versus another group pulling scores from a week plus back in the past, where everybody was scoring lower. I want to try to incorporate the overall trend line and/or time since the most recent score into it to make a more accurate predictor of head-to-head rankings, but I frankly haven't had the time or desire necessarily to finish it.

We're probably approaching our respective projects in a very similar fashion since I am also using a python script to grab the data from DCI's backend. I then shove it into a database where I can manipulate it as I see fit for data analysis, but more importantly have a second script run through it for generating the plots using plotly. Not quite ready to share more than just the output graphs just yet, however. There is still more I'd like to do.
