We can only provide data that's available from FIRST. There is no information available about DQs so therefore we can't use that in our application. However, the rankings that FRC Spyder shows are pulled directly from the FIRST rankings pages, so DQs should be accounted for.

The Win/Loss/Tie information is extra data that is calculated by our server based on the final scores, so as you point out this won't be correct in the case of DQs. I still think it's better than not having it at all though. It's too bad that FIRST chose not to provide W/L/T info in their rankings - even if it doesn't count towards the rankings I think it is still useful/interesting information.
