Win prediction by team
complete
Carl Babe
It'd be nice, when I am looking at a team's specific stats, rather than seeing the % chance for red or blue to win, whichever is more likely to win, if I could see the odds of whatever team i'm looking at to win, whichever alliance they happen to be on at the time. For example, in the image I've attached, 5511 loses the first round, as is more likely, and wins the second. as is also more likely. If I want to see how a team is expected to perform, it's be less confusing if the first number was a 40% win chance for red alliance, as that's the alliance that 5511 is on, and that's whose page i'm on looking at their stats.

I really like the option to display it both ways. Both are interesting for different reasons. I think defaulting to green=win is the more common choice, and probably what most teams are looking for. I wouldn't change a thing now.

Fixed a small bug with the alliance in the second to last column, can assume it is just the team's alliance in this mode.

Abhijit Gupta: I like the percents, but I'm not sure how I feel on the coloring. It makes sense when looking at matches that haven't happened yet, but once they have it's a little confusing as to whether or not it's who won or if it's the prediction (even with the radio buttons). I think this should be pushed, but take a low priority item to further look into how to make it a simple UI.

Instead of Red/Blue, I think it'd be more useful to say Win/Lose, keeping consistent with the probability being about the team you're looking at, and making it more visually distinctive from the different behavior on the event page

Brian Maher: Yeah I can change it to Win/Lose.
Another idea: Change the colors for the team outcome to be lighter than the red/green currently used for the correct prediction. Thoughts on that?

Yeah I think it would be nice to have a button/toggle to look through both views. The default could be as is to not confuse repeat viewers. I will add it to the todo list, hopefully can work on it soon.

Abhijit Gupta: I think it makes the most sense to default to win prediction in the team you are viewing's favor (since it was very confusing to explain to parents), and have the confidence in the prediction be the default on the event page.

With what you describe, wins would all look green, and losses would all look red. This is handy. Right now, once the match is played, the red indicates an upset, not necessarily a loss. One of my favorite things about this tool vs previous tools is that predictions are not cleared after the match is complete. I love going back and looking for the prediction accuracy, both correct and failed predictions. Perhaps this should be a display choice.

To further clarify, the current setup is great when looking at the event as a whole, but when I am looking at a specific team's performance, I'd prefer to see that team's chance of victory, rather than the odds that whoever is predicted to win does in fact win.
