Sports Data

April 24th, 2012

Sport provides a wealth of statistics that can either be analysed or visualised to aid discussion and arguments about which team or person is the best within their given sport. The task of collecting sports data can be manual and having a ready source of data will reduce the task to allow more time to be spent on investigating the historical results.
