MLS data checks #26

Open jalapic opened 7 years ago

1.Need to resolve if call pre 2005 team "San Jose Earthquakes" or "Houston Dynamo" - which franchise? I'm going with San Jose Earthquakes and treating team established in 2008 as continuation of team.

2.Also, check MLS playoffs especially in 2000 and 2001 - are sudden-death scores accurate ?

  1. For 1996-1999Seasons - they had shootout wins/losses for tied games in regular season. There are no ties in the data - need to work out which games went to shootouts and adjust hgoal/vgoal and hpen/vpen accordingly. Put "SOW" and "SOL" in hpen/vpen.

Working on issue 3. I can also take a look at 2 while I'm at it.

Thanks Michael - this will be super helpful.

I missed your comment about "SOW" and "SOL". That should actually make things easier, as shootout results are notoriously hard to come by.
