Those statistics are available here: http://goo.gl/mKuTXS.

Any chance we could get the number of data points (FMS tweets) you used? Stuff like that's really important for generating standard errors for confidence intervals and seeing just how much of a change there's been for this year. As Walter Lewin is fond of saying, "any measurement is useless without a knowledge of the uncertainties."

1. How easy would it be to post your dataset in a format that Excel tolerates? Doing so gets you out of 2-3.
2. Is it possible to see the percent of matches that have been decided by fouls, broken down by week and by match type (qualification/elimination)?
3. Using assist scores, would it be possible to determine the average number of cycles an alliance generates? Again, is it possible to see averages per week, by match type?
