Frequently Asked Questions for Play-by-Play Dataset

What does the play-by-play data include?

Each season dataset comes up with 2 types of files: 1) Individual CSV files for all games played in the regular season and the playoffs. 2) A season-to-date CSV file where all CSV game files are combined. Having this file, you can analyze the whole season stats in one sheet. In brief, our database-friendly (each play presented in a row) log includes every in-game movement such as: “Active players on the court”, “event time (remaining/elapsing)”, “play length & id”, “activity type (substitution/shot/free throw/turnover/foul committed & drawn/rebound/assist/jump ball etc.)”, “shot location” and “shot coordinates”.

Open the sample dataset where descriptions for all columns have been already provided. Keep in mind that, those descriptions do not appear on the season game logs, so we recommend you to keep the sample file easily accessible until you get along with our play-by-play logs.

How is an individual game log being named?

How are the active players are listed in the play-by-play logs?

We have developed a proprietary algorithm in which, substitutions and the relevant game events (points, fouls, getting fouled, assist, steals and etc.) that are assigned to players are taken into account. Note that; despite being a very rare situation, if the player does not record anything or did not take part in any game event while he’s on the court, the chances are our algorithm might not be 100% accurate.
