I run a script now and then to compare the MaxPreps database with mine. I occasionally find a game I’ve missed. Some of the tiebreakers this season, for instance. But even if I don’t have every game, nobody is depending on my database to make calculation to five decimal places. Not so for the MaxPreps/WIAA database.
I ran my script today, after tournament pairings were announced. By my count there were 115 varsity games that I’ve recorded that are not included in the MaxPreps/WIAA database. Most of these MaxPreps has the game scheduled, just no result. There were several double counted mistakes, some wrong team mistakes. Do games against Australian teams count? If they do, they should all count. But some games are ‘non-varsity opponents’ in MaxPreps lingo. So I guess those don’t count anyway.
Here’s the full details. If it was my database I’d be embarrassed. But there is no shame at MaxPreps.
