contain datasets and scripts to track and report world cup pool performance
With the 2022 World Cup just around the corner, I wanted to apply my learnings from CSE 6040 to a real dataset.My workplace is incredibly invested in Football/Soccer. Every year, we compete in a variety of Fantasy League games which include the English Premier League/EUROS/World Cup and more. This year, I reached out to our pool organizer (the person that collects each participants predictions and 'donations') if I could use the data and run several types of analysis.
After a stakeholder meetings, a few requirements were identified:
-
Ensuring PII (personally identifiable information) info is encrypted and shared to the right users
-
Find a data source to extract world cup group standings (trickier than expected)
-
Calculate each participants group stage
-
Report pool standings
Due to time/resource constraints, this notebook scope is limited to:
-
Scraping Group Standings
-
Calculating participant standings based solely on group stage results
