Version 1.8.0 expands Rugby Tracker's supporter-focused analysis with the addition of the Team Form Report.

Following the introduction of the Team Summary, Head-to-Head and Competition Summary reports, this release adds a more immediate view of team performance by concentrating on a team's most recent completed matches.

The report helps answer questions supporters naturally ask during a season: "How well is this team playing at the moment?", "Are they improving?" and "How does their recent form compare with the season as a whole?"

The report is available from the Analysis section alongside the existing reports.

Continuing the Analysis Vision

The Team Form Report continues Rugby Tracker's philosophy of providing useful analysis for rugby supporters without turning the application into a complex business intelligence platform.

Rather than introducing broad dashboards or predictive ratings, the report focuses on a clear and familiar supporter question: how has this team performed recently?

The report is descriptive rather than predictive. It presents recent results, scoring patterns and defensive performance without attempting to forecast future matches or reduce form to an opaque rating.

As with the existing analysis reports, the underlying analysis originated as a standalone Jupyter Notebook before being integrated into the application. This allowed the calculations, visualisations and overall presentation to be tested independently before becoming part of Rugby Tracker.

Looking Ahead

Future releases will continue to develop the Analysis section through carefully selected reports that answer genuine supporter questions.

The focus will remain on clear, explainable and useful analysis while preserving Rugby Tracker's emphasis on simplicity, accuracy and long-term maintainability.
