It has been about a month since the basic MCFC data set has been released and it is great to see lots of people churning out stuff using both the basic and advanced data sets.
Based on the tweets with #MCFCAnalytics tag, there are quite a few peoples’ projects are in progress. Good luck to all of you. Make sure you share your project/blog links with the hashtag.
Some people are looking for partners and contributors to the projects they are working on. If you are interested, please keep a tab on the #MCFCAnalytics tab and get in touch with folks directly.

/ September 24, 2012Hi Ravi, my latest blog is at wp.me/p2wtEg-5H
I’ve been looking at passing moves in BW v MC, and how the length of them affects the chance of the final shot being on target.
Cheers!
