What's new on the site, late October

A lot has landed since the early October post, mostly games and playoff data.

Daily games

There's a Games page now, and today's puzzles are also on the home page. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day, and your results and streaks are saved.

• FRCdle has a daily mode with one shared team a day and a result you can share. The old endless version is still there as Unlimited.
• FRC Connections gives you sixteen teams to sort into four groups. Groups can be anything from team name patterns and sponsors to Einstein years and teams from the same city. Past days' boards are still playable if you missed one.
• Six Degrees of FRC gives you two teams and you link them through playoff alliances. Par is one more than the shortest chain, and after each game it shows you a shortest chain. Shared results hide your answer behind Discord spoilers.

Playoff Alliances

The old Biggest Upsets page is now Playoff Alliances. It's built on every playoff alliance back to 2004, with the older years rebuilt from the brackets. You can see how each alliance seed tends to do and which teams have won from every seed, then filter by season or region, compare two groups, or click into a result for the events behind it.

Team pages also have a playoff section that uses the same data.

Leaderboards

Every leaderboard lives under Leaderboards now: lifetime points, rookie classes, win rates, streaks and awards. Old links still redirect.

The win rate board is new. Filter by season or location, leave out offseason events, hide teams that aren't active, search for a team, and there's a histogram of where everyone lands.

Streaks lists every team's best run, win or loss. You can leave out offseason events or show only the streaks that are still going.

Team and event pages

Team pages are grouped into named sections, pick up colors from the team, and the big numbers count up on load. Event pages now preview who's registered for the next edition of that event.

Smaller things

• Most pages load faster, and team and event pages only refresh hourly while their event is actually running.
• A bunch of mobile fixes: long names wrap instead of getting cut off, FRCdle tiles fit small phones, and Higher or Lower has a new layout.
• The Resources page picked up VendorDiff and match13.
• Lifetime points rescores the round-robin Einstein years by where teams finished.
