Ok, I will not lie to you,...this is really really cool!

I have calculated the year over year change in teams times and posted them on the true rankings site. However, a clear trend was observed with slower boats all having slower times when compared to last. I believe this discrepancy may have been introduced when I improved my regression techniques and used polynomial regressions in place of liner regressions for the current season.

Long story short, I had to adjust the year to year changes using regression technique. These "ture" changes are under the heading "Adj. Chng.". I then used arrow indicators to show boat movement from past to present season (under the heading "Move"). Enjoy!

holy batman ... that is Cool ... what do the i's and h's mean?

Yes, way cool. Now I don't want to sound like an unappreciative ass, but are you going to have the Centre Island and Ottawa results added soon?

Hmmm... I see arrows on my screen. I suppose if wing dings 3 is not installed on your computer maybe only the letter equivalents come through.

There are three levels of improvement or slippage and the status quo (as compared to last season).

Three up arrows (hhh) - Stepped up large
Two up arrows (hh)- Moving up fast
One up arrow (h) - Improving
Sideways arrows (n) - Not much change from last year
One down arrow (i) - Slipping
Two down arrows (ii) - Falling fast
Three down arrows (iii) - Look out below.

Centre Island is added. Can't do Ottawa until I get data and Montreal is done (for sample size reasons).

Will do Sudbury next!

...expect a lot of new teams to show on the radar once the Montreal, Lachine, and Ottawa data are added.

Dude - I love this sh-t but you need to get a girlfriend.
