Post the Ivy Standings

Could we get the standings posted on this site, particularly the Ivy standings? The only place I know to find them is the official Ivy League site which takes an eternity to load on dial up. Make eLynah one stop shopping.

Well, CHDB doesn't keep track of any games that Cornell's not in. Option 1 is to manually update the standings. It'll never get done. Option 2 is to attempt to extract the information from ivyleaguesports.com's page. The minute I get it working, they'll be sure to change their formatting and hose it. Option 3 is to compile scores based on the complete results from collegehockeystats.com. It's the most involved on my end, but it should, hopefully, stay consistent. But Option 3 won't be getting done any time soon.

In addition, it doesn't even seem that the standings the Ivy League website has up are correct. I count 3 Harvard Ivy losses (Brown, Cornell, Prince-bwhahaha-ton), and their standings list HU's Ivy record as 4-2. I don't feel like going through to verify the other records.

Jonh Whelan has the Ivy standings updated every night at his web site:
[slack.net] . They're listed in conjunction with the ECAC stats, so they're not in the right order though.

I just thought since it only involved six teams and 30 games over four months that someone could do it manually. I don't mean a huge compilation of statisitics. I just want to know the W-L-T pts GF GA of each team. I know it's out there. I just want it closer to "home".

Nothing done manually ever gets done. I'm almost done with option 3 anyway. Damn you.

So "won't be getting done anytime soon" means done within 3 hours?

from john whelan's site:

I have a running count of the Ivy results at [www.spiritone.com]

Yale 3-5-0 6 32 34
Princeton 1-7-0 2 11 36


I may have made math errors in my haste but this is what I had in mind. I used Greg's results. The Ivy League web site is slow to load and slow to be updated with results.

CHDB now has ECAC and Ivy Standings. Click on the "Standings" link at the top, or the Standings link which will appear on the menubar here momentarily. You can sort each by anything listed by clicking on the column name.

Cool. I was going to make a wisecrack about breaking ties by the ECAC tiebreaking procedure, but you might take it as a challenge and waste more time.

Enough time wasted. Alphabetical it is =P

Well, there also is no tie breaking. Ivy League awards co-champions when it works out that way (right?).

Right.

thanks, age. that rocks

Right, I meant for the ECAC.

Awesome. You're the man.
