RHLAnalysis FAQ

Q: How does RHLAnalysis work?

A: RHLAnalysis is a Java command line program that reads in thousands of text result files that describe every game in RHL history. All the information in these files is mined and sorted into data structures which the program uses to create the static HTML files that are uploaded to this site on a regular basis.

Q: How complete is the data?

A: Unfortunately, a small number of data files were not saved or were lost through technical problems. All of the player details from RHL1 were not saved but the program compensates for this by using the season totals instead. Other than this, about 20 games are missing (out of tens of thousands).

Q: What games are missing?

A: RHL1 Playoffs, Round 3, Day 3. RHL3 Day 137. RHL3 Day 138. RHL3 Day 161 (BEE vs MOU only). RHL3 Day 162 (SPA vs GRI and FUN vs GAR only). RHL5 Day 21 (SOC vs AVI only). RHL6 Playoffs, Round 2, Day 7. RHL9 Playoffs, Round 4, Day 5. RHL10 Day 124. RHL10 Playoffs, Round 3, Day 6.

Q: How exactly are the missing details from RHL1 dealt with?

A: If the player only played on one team, it's easy - find the totals and give them all to the player on that team. If the player was on multiple teams, then an algorithm fairly splits it up between the teams based on what we do know - how many points and penalties were counted for that player on each team. However, some stats (faceoffs, corner battles and the like) are lost forever.

Q: I'd like to see feature X. Can you do it?

A: Not at this time. I have put this software in maintenance mode. I will fix bugs as quickly as possible, but I have moved on to other projects and I am not developing this product. This may change, but not for a long time.
