The Data Gathering Project

Publication Date: January 9, 2006

One of the functions of this site is to serve as a repository for historical data, most of which lives over in The Filing Cabinet. I'm soliciting help from the community to add to those archives; this page serves as the description of what's needed and the easiest way to get data into the archive. There are three projects where help is needed:

All-Time Team and Conference Win-Loss Records

These are selectable by year in The Filing Cabinet. Much of what's in there was inherited with much gratitude, although I've added a good bit since then. Currently, the records for the following schools have been checked against the records maintained by the school:

Florida State             Northern Colorado         Yale                     

Any disputes or corrections involving these teams will be entertained, of course, and passed along to the school involved.

For any other team, the best format to get the records to me is in a CSV file, one per team with the team name in the file name, containing one line per season in this format:

Year,Conference,Division,AllWins,AllLosses,ConfWins,ConfLosses

As with all of these requests, I'll accept anything that you can send; this (or something that can be quickly dumped to CSV like an Excel or Access file) is just the fastest thing for me to process.

All-Time Game Score Records

The Game Score Database currently contains full records going back to 1998 and nearly full records for 1997. The 1997 records have the following gaps:

Team                  Games Missing

Alabama State              14
Bethune-Cookman             3
Hawaii-Hilo                 2
Howard                      3
Jackson State               1
Maryland-Eastern Shore      4
Mississippi Valley State   14
Northwestern                1
Prairie View A&M            1
Wofford                     3

The best way to submit game scores is one season of one team in a CSV file with the following format for each line, with the team and year specified in the file name:

Date,WinningTeam,WinningScore,LosingTeam,LosingScore,Site

Again, I'll accept other formats if you have them already available.
