Query Fundamentals:
A query consists of one or more clauses joined by and or or.
The full format for reference to the NCAA Football SportsDataBase is game reference:parameter.
The simplest game reference is 'p' which stands for previous game. Also useful is 'o' which stands for
opponent. You can combine any number of 'p's and 'o's. If a game reference is not given then the results for
the current game are checked.
See below for the current list of parameters and examples.
Examples:
The query:
team and site=home
returns the results of home games for each
p:points<10 and pp:points<10
returns games after a team scored fewer than 10 points the past two games.
If no game reference is given then results for the current game are checked.
points<10
returns games in which teams scored fewer than 10 points.
If no conditional is imposed then the results are grouped by the reference.
p:points
returns games grouped by all occurrences of previous points.
Multiple conditions can be imposed using a comma delimited format.
p:points<7,10,14
gives results grouped by previous points < 7, previous points < 10, and previous points < 14.
Game Reference:
p => team's previous game
op => opp's previous game
P => previous match up
n => team's next game
on => opp's next game
N => next match up
Examples:
The query:
site=home and P:points<10 and PP:points<10
returns home games where team scored fewer than 10 point the past two head-to-head match ups
