To spot-check the lacrosse team records, I asked ChatGPT for ten random numbers between 1 and 189. I checked these rows: 54, 122, 52, 154, 147, 80, 117, 5, 2, 165.
Correct: 122, 154, 147, 80, 117, 5, 2 and 165
Double-check: 54, 52
Opponents:
The information for the champion on row 54 is correct. However, the opponent column lists Mount Hebron as the opposing school when the record book does not denote an opponent for a specific championship team. My concern is that whatever process was used to pull data was reading the next line over, which shows Mount Hebron as the winning school in their classification that year.
The same goes for row 52, with Mount Hebron listed as the correct winner, but the opponent listed is a winning school from another classification that year.
Non-championship Teams:
If we have the time this semester, it would be worth converting the other tournament history data, including finalists, semi-finalists and quarter-finalists. It could be useful for reporters, but it requires accurately identifying each school’s classification, and I don’t know how feasible it is with two weeks remaining in the semester.
