Just a little sample of what kind of results WCP '06 Gives you.
Note this chart is generated dynamically in your browser as it runs on the real page (this is just a screenshot here with my annotations).

PLEASE REMEMBER: this chart here is not generated with real prediction data!!! It's just to give a flavor for the format and use of the results.  These are not real team predictions!

I'd actually like to put out a call for help..

We would like to find a source of data over the last few years that will give us an estimate of how well each team did when playing against each other team.

That is, we want a table of score showing what the avg match score was when each team played each other team.

Any help in:
1) locating this raw data
and
2) extracting it into a spreadsheet or similar data file form.

Visit the page and have some fun learning about Markov Chain Monte Carlo estimation.

NOTE: We still need experts to fill out reasonable probabilities for team match ups!!!
Prizes are on offer  thumbs up
